Motul conatct me for make a trophy 

this trophy is for a selection  of very rare vehicule in original condition

 so  i have the idea to make a mini english wheel, the enlish weel or wheeling machine is a machine for metal shaping, specially for forming the metal with all type of curve...

start with a sketch at the scale 1

cut the sketch for put on sheet metal and draw the outline
and use my plasma cutter

i cut directelly 2 pieces in one time for have the maximum  similar face

after forming and welding all  pieces
ineed to grinding all faces

smoothing all sides and make the the wheels with my lathe machine

finishing with pedestal and cool rust patina
and rivets
