    While I was working on the Jaguar suspension of my street rod, Beverly ran over my battery charger with our 743B Bobcat. The Bobcat won. I pulled most of the sheet metal off the charger, and worked it through my Lazze English wheel. It is unbelievable how good an English wheel can make a piece of twisted up sheet metal look. If I was a little smarter using English wheels, I would be dangerous

    Ha! Your story brought back a memory of when I backed my skid loader over a battery. I'm afraid your skills with the English wheel won't help my battery!

    What do you call your wheel after you get your thumb stuck in it?

    You don't want to know the answer to that question........ It does leave funny looking blood blisters.

    When I was a kid, my mom had a mangle to iron sheets and pillow cases, etc. I suppose if you loaded it correctly, you could do pants and shirts.
