Amazing. Just caught this. 1st my feed gave me video from a year ago. Naturally, I dug...low & behold. It's current again. Always the best Wray, many thanx 👍👍
So good to watch you back on the wheel again. I find every video relaxing and informative at the same time. Wants me to go out in the workshop and do a bit of wheeling, just for the sake of it. Amazing how you can correct the panel so effectively. 👍
Very useful and very timely for me. I am literally in the middle of making panels for my Riley (you can see it on my channel) and all the errors you show and mention here I am making right now and need to fix. For a beginner it's not easy. I tried the shrinker on the edge trick and the marks annoy me too although in my case they won't be seen. I am working to an ash frame which I also made myself and so I am sure is not perfect. I have a scuttle panel I made that's over done and has one particular high I think this wavy edge technique will fix so I will try that tomorrow. The arrangement/area thing I did work out and find after wheeling I always have to hand arrange the panel back to the right shape. I found my sandbag on top of my wooden stump works well for that. I also use the wheel to bend the edges around as you show. Many people tell me I need a rubber band on the top wheel to do that but no, it's just changing the arrangement. Jealous of your wheel. I work with a cheap one. I am learning it's limitations and how to work around them.
thanks as always Wray, this has reaffirmed what you had showed me a while back (i had forgotten some details of over development correction ) . plus i've picked up much more valuable info from this video. cheers.
Kudo's to Mark.... The flexible shape pattern would have given you the exact targets for attention rite away . I see exactly how you are using the wheel to give the arraignment by lifting and pushing down your panel as needed .Good video.. Dan R.
Great example Wray. Would this be a scenario where radial shrinking by hand might be useful? I remember you demonstrating the technique some years ago in another video. Thanks, long time subber in Australia.
Can you offer any insight as to how to avoid getting into this situation in the first place? Was it because the student was concentrating too much on one or 2 areas and not the whole panel? How do we avoid this situation that makes a beginner chase their tail? Been there done that 😂
In previous videos you would use a 45 degree angle to remove the waves from the edge. Here you are staying more parallel to the edge. Does that mean the 45 flattens the wave without stretching and raising the inboard metal as much and this parallel technique is being used on this panel because it does stretch the inboard metal more?
No, my Grandmother who was Irish, her last name was Wray I'm not sure how Link Wray got his name, I read he was part American Indian- maybe his mother with an Irish father.
WOW!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, WRAY, FOR THIS SUPERLATIVE DEMONSTRATION, AND EXPLANATION!!!!!! THAT IS INCREDIBLE WORK!!!!!!!!!... MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
I’ve been missing my ProShaper fix thanks Wray!
Thank you Wray, a really interesting video. As you say, knowing how to fix mistakes is so important.
Nice to see you are back on the videos again.
Thanks, Hope to be making a lot of videos, to do so I'll need some help from the viewers. In my next video I will explain.

Always the best Wray, many thanx 👍👍
Wray, you sir, are the Bob Ross of metal shaping. Thank you kindly for your generous insites and wisdom.
I try to make the complex simple.
Nice work Wray.
Quite a transformation.
Thanks for sharing the process. 👍
Thanks for making these . Very informative.
Glad you like them!

It's nice to have you back Wray and on my favourite tool. Can't wait till the next lesson. Thanks
WOW! Wray WOW!
Scratch building at its best. Panel tuning is awesome to watch.
Watching you work is just so amazing. Thanks Wray.
Great video glad to see you back!

I'm blown away you can get that result so quickly.
You Sir are a master! I throughly enjoy watching you methodology shape metal!

Great work! Thanks for showing us this 🤘
Very interesting video thanks Wray.
Thanks Wray! 👍💪✌
Metal magician!
So, so helpful. Thank you
Thank you Wray. You are such a good teacher!!
Good stuff
Thanks!
You will know a craftsman by his ability to recover from his mistakes…
Why didn't I have a shop teacher like this? 😅

I'll have one to tune the other side. It too is over developed.

Radial shrinking would work a little but not all of it. What I did was the fastest route without marring the panel.

11:06 "So, you're from Canada?"
"Yup."
"Do you know Gary?"
I'm from Massachusetts. If it is Garry Thompson, yes, I know him.

Buy a better wheel, or build the one I offer frame plans for.
Is he named after link
No, my Grandmother who was Irish, her last name was Wray I'm not sure how Link Wray got his name, I read he was part American Indian- maybe his mother with an Irish father.
