Like the use of the high tech clamps, clothes pins! All of your tools are low tech so what makes all of this possible is your skill!

Thank you so much for your excellent and thorough explanation of the English wheel and its use. I always learn so much about metalworking from your channel.

Rick, Arie here from Haarlem the Netherlands.

Thanks again for sharing your talents. It is always a pleasure to watch someone who actually cares about quality.

Watching these videos is great, so much history in these lights,just like watching the horse drawn wagons and buggies being restores at Engles coach works

A pleasure watching a true craftsman

It's great seeing someone using the left and right tin snips correctly! Most of the "fabricators" I see on YT use the straight ones for everything. I love watching you work, brings back memories of my tin knocking days.

I came across your video whilst looking for videos on the English Wheel and am very pleased to have done so.

Fascinating. And I have never seen those left and right-handed snips before. Very clever. Great video Rick, very interesting, entertaining and educational.

I enjoy watching you take a flat piece of metal and turn it into a dished shape and then join the two pieces together. Lamps are coming right along.

Absolutely amazing craftsmanship with skills we just dont see today any more. Everything now has to be made down to a price.

What a WONDERFUL craftsman you are Sir. I’ve done some

Fascinating craftsmanship again!

A real pleasure watching a true craftsman ply his trade. Beautiful work and thank you for allowing us to watch.

That was really nice! I've seen very brief demonstrations of the English Wheel before, but didn't really get anything out of them. This video answered an awful lot of questions, and I may actually be able to adapt a few tricks to some of my own little hobby projects. Thank you for showing some footage that covers so much ground.

Thanks for the introduction to the English Wheel. Simple but elegant.

Amazing working on those small pieces. We used to make aircraft parts on an English wheel where the engine cowl had compound curves. Oh, and I really like the toe nail clipper at about

Very talented craftsman. Thank you, I enjoyed it.

I had never thought to use the English Wheel for the inset of a flat panel. Thank you for teaching this old dog a new trick.

ahh the trusty clothespin. Clamping things together for almost 170 years. Invented in Vermont in 1853 and still using the same design today. Proof that there's no need to improve the perfected. Just like Rick's lamps :)
