- Can you make a miniature English wheel out of a clamp? Today we'll answer that question, and more as I try to use an old c clamp, some scrap metal, and a couple dies from Harbor Freight.
Did this video inspire you to build something? If so, I'd love to see it! Please tag me on Instagram @full_steam_designs and Facebook @Full Steam Designs

Very clever. Both the set screws and copper sleeve. You have earned another sub.
Thank you 🙏
great concept. I have a project that requires very little bead rolling. I don't want to spend a lot on an English Wheel to assist with the oil canning. this will be a perfect solve. thank you.
You’ve earned all that equipment dude, you don’t have to make excuses for it. Awesome job, as usual. You always take these challenges to the next level and beyond.
Thanks man. I like to push the envelope
One of my favorite projects you’ve done. Awesome work. Now go buy some taps
Thanks Keith. Maybe I’ll go do that today
You have some crazy mad fabrication skills! I loved that part with the copper pipe, I would never have thought of that!
Thanks man
Liked your video makes me think of a small one for my shop thanks
Good idea for the Clamp Challenge. Looks like you’ll be getting some use out of it in your shop. Thanks for showing us how you made this English Wheel.
Thank you
This is awesome. The lighting, every shot was perfect, audio, oh, and the clamp into an English wheel is genius
Thanks
What if you had used a bigger top wheel? It seems to me that's important. Just saying. I'm gonna copy your idea. Awesome. Love it❤
Man you have to win this competition what an awesome build
Thanks man. We find out Monday.
Just found this. Thanks
I made one about 35 years ago. I used some large bearings for the wheels. Used it to smooth out a couple of wrinkled fenders on a model A roadster. Didn’t want to take them off the car as it was a survivor race car.
I couldn't help noticing that you do the same as l do.
That is when working, you use your fingers to measure and guide you, at start of work....and through it too.😊
The reality is not a lot of people use that system..
However, you G clamp English wheel is really superb...
Strong and effective..
👍
Simon a Brit in Spain 👍👍
Hey, good stuff. First video so I'll check a few more
Круто получилось.Привет из РОССИИ.
PS Liked & subscribed Cool tool. Turned out nice.
Great job. I enjoyed the process.
Terrific, I like the way you work.
Great idea! Really cool seeing the process making a new tool.
Thanks Dave
That’s awesome man, you should make a mini planishing setup with an air chisel/hammer next. Just use a cheap harbour freight one with a flat die.
I started working on one a few years ago when I was in South Dakota, but I left it there. I made an electric hand held one with a Milwaukee palm nailer. It could be cool to put it on a frame. There’s a video on this channel if you want to see what it is.
Good job! I really appreciate your approach for those of us who are “tool deprived “. 😉
I know next to nothing about this tool. Is one wheel supposed to be slightly offset from the other? It looks like they’re not exactly parallel. Also, I wondered if I hadn’t seen some where the wheels were very slightly convex. Maybe there are different wheels for different results.
6:45 had that “oh shit, my glasses aren’t doing anything up there!” moment
Haha that’s exactly what I said
You sir are cool
Beardage = ✓
Approach = ✓
Cool stuff!
😁👍
With this kind of tools you can do a lot of things!
Looking forward for ur new video!
🤝
Thanks!
Great!
Thanks
If ya gotta chuck up an end-mill, so what? I've seen them chowder no matter how rigid they were in a mill. I buy 2 of something anyway.
Ground expanding concrete nails with end mills. There was an embedded plate I didn't want to damage with split points despite have to cut flush to it in a 1" hole three inches down to get the collar. Made the first one about smooth.
Great video quality and a great build for the clamp challenge!! However you will use that tap again unless you throw it away!
It has sentimental value haha
And thank you!
New subscriber. This is awesome
I think I'm going to build one and put a video on my channel I want to make a Miniature one just for display that's much smaller but works also. I have a few old clamps of various sizes I can use. Did you mention Albany NY, I was just there a few weeks back picking up a tool from someone on FB... You live in that area? Great video's. keep making more
You got equipment I can't even begin to afford and your making a English wheel when you could buy 😂
Where can I buy one like this?
@@FullSteamDesigns no what you made cool and portable what I meant was buying the bigger ones
I think he mentioned a podcast challenge making something out of a C clamp. Didn’t so much need it at that moment but it will definitely be good to have around for things.
Nice job can you tell the size of the roller you put there 50 -60 80 diameter and must make it or can buy in a Shope ready? Thanks
I’m not sure if the top of my head. They’re from Harbor Freight.
Ive got a question for you car guys..on a scale of 1-10 how realistic of an undertaking would it be to get a car that my friend has been keeping in his garage since the 70s (its a 62 Pontiac .If I remember correctly.4 doors & not dented up all the glass looks ok ,not rusted out, it seems like it is on the small side to have come w a V 8 & a manual transmission)dk much about the car .it was parked when it broke down,not sure what the problem was & he can’t remember at this point.he’s bought 5-6 newer cars that weren’t expensive but needed work & paid a mechanic 3-4 k to fix them drive them a while,there is another problem(electrical almost every time) & just tarps it & buys something else) in the last 10 years or so.and more than that in the 30 years iv known him. I have some tools,access to a hydraulic lift and shop with just about any tool you would need & know 2 other guys that live real close to me that that would more than likely help me get back going if I got stumped by something. I drive and do some of my own work on 90s Toyotas .Not a mechanic by any means but I’ve gotten better through the years. Never owned a older car though. Just started thinking about it. Thx for any advice.
I would say very realistic. That’s how most of us got started. Internet forums and books are a great help.

I honestly dont know how he has time to make videos as focused on haters in his comments as he is seriously. Mooommmmy there posting mean comments on my CZcams videos again !!! Lmfao
This is awesome. The lighting, every shot was perfect, audio, oh, and the clamp into an English wheel is genius
Thanks Viz. I really appreciate it.
