  I really liked your approach to explaining the wheel. Grew up working in my dad's custom sheet metal shop. His approach was watch me and when you're ready do it. I learned geometry and trig watching him. We had patterns, forms, and every drawing with repeating measurements hanging on every wall. Before Walmart and other such chains people depended on us to design and fab everything you can imagine. I'm 70 now so not too much anymore, but I still appreciate those that do. I think I'll hang around for more. Thanks!

  I feel like I'm watching Bob Ross of English wheeling. You're very pleasant to listen to and you explain the process well. You give me confidence to try this. Thanks for teaching and sharing your talent.

  Wish I was 30 years younger. I like your style of staying away from the kick shrinker and stretcher

  Wow. I bought an EW a couple of years back and never did much with it because after watching about a zillion YouTube videos, I couldn't make it work. THIS one however  brought it home, to where I was actually able to make the thing work. Best EW video on YouTube . . . bar none.

  Never seen an English wheel before. Whoever came up with this the first time a couple of hundred years ago was definitely an alien.

  Thanks, this video was just the tip I needed to nail my project.  The keeper for me was your comment about not needing stretchers or shrinkers, that it can all be done with the wheel. And damned if you weren't right.
