As a Winter diversion, I play around (as opposed to really knowing what I'm doing) building various things from scratch out of brass shapes - mostly models of agricultural equipment.
As I get into more complex projects, I've run into a couple of situations where having a really small English Wheel to form compound curves in light brass sheet would be handy. I suspect it'd also be an interesting learning experience. By "really small" my initial thoughts are wheels of about 1" in diameter and perhaps half an inch wide. Perhaps as large as double those dimensions.
If anyone knows of such a critter available commercially, has built one, knows where I could find plans for such a thing or just generally has advice, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
