Ron Covell brings his signature easy-to-follow style to using the English Wheel, a machine notoriusly difficult for beginners to ‘figure out’. Starting with the machine’s history and a clear explanation of the principles that enable the machine to move metal, Ron shows the basic ‘tracking’ patterns that are used to shape panels of various sizes and configurations. In addition to the common techniques of wheeling, Ron also shows some of the lesser-known processes, such as using a rubber top wheel, and doing embossing with the mahine. Whether you’re brand new to the English Wheels or an experienced user, you’ll find valuable information on this video.
