Glynn, a few years ago I contacted Geoff Moss at MPH Motor Panels in Liskeard. If you look on YouTube you will find that he is one of this country's top wheelers and you can watch him at work. I went down and stayed in a B&B and did a couple of days learning how to wheel. I didn't follow up on this, but he did say I could make a buck (something to put my metal on to gauge where I wanted to raise my surface to) and bring it to him and he would guide me in making something. You could do the same. That way you learn the skills and you do the job under expert guidance.

I had a project that involved wheeling about 7 years ago, and bought my machine for it, but something else stopped play! Shame, because by now I'd probably be good at it.

I live in Ipswich and I have a wheeling machine and some decent Justin Baker anvils, and would be happy if anyone here wanted to have a go or use my wheel for their projects.
I don't want to bore you all with the details, here. But if you are interested, have a look at my blog https://peteskart.blogspot.com/
