I have access to a english wheel and have been trying to wheel simple shapes from 16 gauge aluminium . Although I do enjoy playing with the english wheel I think I'm ready to learn how its done . Does anyone know of any courses in the U.K I live 30 miles south of London. cheers Marc

You should explore this with the vintage racecar crowd. Do a Google search, I bet someone will offer to "apprentice" you.

wheeling is more of a hobby , I wont have enough time to become a apprentice. But a course to teach me the basics is really what I'm after , if not maybe someone can recommend a book or a video on the subject.
