Dear Hambers, I've tried finding both tools in my country(Brazil), with no success. I must build an English Wheel and a Planishing Hammer. Is there any member who could send me drawings of non-sophisticated models and the dimensions of hammers and wheels ? By the way, how many wheels compound a set, found in a tools shop, for instance? How many hammers are needed to work with a Planishing Hammer ? I attached some pics just as a guidance. Thanks to you all, Tagliari.

Harbor Freight salvage has been selling hese the past couple of years.....since all the mainstream folks have made them popular................they're not that hard to build.....just gotta make them heavy enough so they don't flex like wet noodles when ya put some pressure on them............
