Name that tool!

It's really tough when you cant see it. Sorry

Don't know. Something like an Mini-English Wheel?

A small English Wheel.

Looks like a baby English Wheel. How cute! What'll it be when it grows up?:)

I could be wrong, which certainly wouldn't be a first, but that's what it looks like to me. Maybe it's used for making small sheet metal items.

You guys are good! It is intended for on-car repairs. I bought it at a local junk shop for $20, when i took it to the restoration shop where i worked the body guys really wanted to buy it from me. Too bad, I never sell a tool I have less than a few of. I'm going to clamp it in the vice and use it to make a motorcycle fairing.

Did that last week. What else you got?

I wonder when we will get cheap English wheels in the UK at the likes of MachineMart which would be the equivalent to HF. I made my own years ago but it's much larger and not readily portable like that little thing. Maybe it should have been thrown back and allowed to grow up into a full sized English wheel.
