I use stainless because it sells, period. Low maintenance, no rust and it can last a lifetime with little to no maintenance required (waxing, oiling, buffing, etc). Another added benefit that I have seen is the ability to make stronger and lighter pieces without having to anneal before working on th...

One of the reasons that heavy gauges do not respond to English wheels as well as lighter gauges is pressure. Even if the frame of the English wheel can handle the pressure needed to move thicker steels you would need EXTREMELY hard wheels to withstand the presure and not flatten out. An English whee...

I wouldn't call what can be done with an English wheel "dishing".

It is more along the lines of giving you the ability to create a "compound curve".

Dishing is the act of pounding metal into a recess.

And yes, the ability to work thicker metals 17ga+ is almost non-existence.

The ONLY way to keep buffing dust out of your shop is to buff in a sealed room seperate from the rest of your shop. Buffing dust is extremely fine and finds its way onto and into EVERYTHING. I use a bathroom in my walkout basement for this purpose. The door is ALWAYS kept closed. This does the job j...

Actually, Bascot is probably correct. The hardness you will get from aluminum is dependant on its alloy content. You may be trying to harden something that will either not harden or become extremely brittle. Also, aluminum that is hardened is still ver easy to scratch and hard to keep a finish on. S...
