DIY English Wheel Part 4: FINISHED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 апр 2022
- Months of waiting for powder coat and it's finally done. Getting it all put together and making on final piece to the puzzle is what this video is all about. It's done for now. I do have some modifications (attachments) planned in future videos, but until I start shaping metal, this is as finished as I can make this project.
Finished feels good.

this man stops at nothing less than perfection ..awesome job
Wow, thanks! I do what I can.
that Stefan Gotteswinter reference by adding his usual intro music to your try to achieve highest precision when fitting the emblem made me laugh out loud, haha!
LOL - you caught the reference! I'm sure he'll never watch my channel, but I love his content.
@@ThrottleStopGarage not so shure. i'd call your work high precision as well!, haha
Great job and a really nice colour
Thanks
I do a lot of at home powder coating because I have zero patience for painting. If it flaked off of the part it’s because the part never got hot enough to bond the powder to the part. You can get the powder hot enough that it forms a liquid and gets glass smooth and looks fantastic but the base part has to get up to that temperature too or the powder just floats over the part.
I do it all the time because I’m impatient and pull parts out too soon. 😂
I like to hot flock parts by getting them up to temp and then spraying the powder. That way I get a layer that’s well bonded and then bake.
Excellent tips for when I get my set up out and working. Thanks.
I definitely got the Princess auto vibe when I saw the colour too lol but regardless thats one awesome wheel!
It's darker...for sure not what I was going for, but it's done and I'm happy with the colour.
I was thinking of an Eastwood blue myself. Either way you have done an excellent job and will get the joy out of using a machine that you built yourself. Remember that feeling of joy when you inevitably pinch your digits and keep telling yourself it was worth it. Thanks for taking the time to give us a look over your shoulder while you work.

I'll try my best to avoid the inevitable pinch. 😌
Lovely work as usual Craig. It should give you many years of good service. Enjoy.
I'm chomping at the bit to try it for real!
Nice!
Thanks
Looks great, can't wait to see you use it 🏁
You and me both!
Nice looking rig
Thanks
Really nice
Thanks
Nice work on this English wheel. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Awesome, thank you!
That came out beautifully. Very nice work mate.
Thank you! Cheers!
Next job. An emblem centring fixture.
I know...it only took me 10 tries to get it right. LOL.
you can use a piece of car tyre hose on the steal wheel
it works well
Yes - I have seen that done. It's nice to have a dedicated wheel though it may not be as convenient.
I am not sure if you already have seen this video, but it is highly informative and recommendable in regards to the parts from the English wheel, in particular the shape, or should I say the various shapes, from the bottom wheel. Reinventing The Ranalah Wheel (ft. Geoff Moss).
Besides that it is a very interesting project from a man who bought all the rights from a long gone brand from an English wheel, and now he is going to bring it back into production. He show's every aspect of the production. And it involves a lot of work.
Yes, following that series. Great stuff.
What a gorgeous machine, great work!
Thanks...can't wait to play.
awaiting you first finger pin err.... part yeah thats it PART of the wheel! :)
So I hear...that's got to hurt.
@@ThrottleStopGarage i got the web of my hand caught once... just a little but the blood blister was impressive!
@@jr3628 Yikes...I can only imagine.
At the risk of obscenity... That is specfuckingtacular! Always excellence....
Thanks...it does look good 👍
I just happen to have an Eastwood Hot Coat powder gun you can have if you don’t already have one, it’s good enough for single coat applications
I've got one in the rafters...I'll have to blow the dust off it soon as I hope to be back on the hard parts of the car soon.
👍👍😎👍👍
Thanks.
You might dive into Arduino or Raspberry Pi for making a PID predictive temp control PID for an oven. Def not an off-the-shelf thing to do.
Or, one could go with an off the shelf PID (easier) of various functionality & price points. e.g. Watlow-EZ-PM-Bluetooth or SmartPID M5 Pro. (never used em myself, but they look interesting although maybe a cheap $19 version would suffice).
My plan, at this point, is to just do the smaller parts and things that I can handle. Big stuff will still go to the pros.
Yes it is OCD.😊
Maybe...
Do you think the heat from the powder coat affected the fit?
I was worried the frame would be affected...several viewers said it would be fine. They were 100% right! Nothing moved.
Pretty cool! So... how much more did it cost you to build it rather than buying the P.A.wheel? Lol That's ok I imagine the tolerances are much tighter than the other blue one. Can't wait to see it shape metal. Perhaps rename it "Canadian Wheel"?
Different league altogether. Total cost all in was around $1400.
@@ThrottleStopGarage Wow you're not kidding! That's some serious tool you built, looking forward to seeing it work.
How come you never tell dirty jokes like that other Canadian guy? 😉
I'm not completely nuts...fueled on back bacon and maple syrup.
