Custom Cez builds an home made english wheel DIY.
In this 3 parts episode Custom Cez calls on Janusz "Polsky Rage" Wilczek for help, along with a special guest, a fan of the show that offered his services for the show's noble cause, Sergio from the FB group Rat Bike Italia.
This english build is divided in 3 parts, the construction of the frame, the manufacturing of the anvil supports and, last but not list, the construction of the lift mechanism.

CHAPTERS:
00:00 English wheel plans animation

PART ONE BUILDING THE FRAME
Janusz brought us a bunch of tubing left over from a construction site to use to build the frame of the english wheel.
While working on the project Janusz has taken the opportunity to teach us a couple of tricks on how to weld for strength and penetration, which resulted in an actual welding competition among us.
The frame is assembled and strengthen while checking alignment and tolerances to produce a nice final result.

What did we do:
Tube cutting
Welding of the frame
Tolerances check

PART TWO THE ANVIL SUPPORTS

In the second episode we make the support brackets that will hold the top and bottom anvils. The bottom one is designed for quick change of the wheel depending on the needed radius.
We start by cutting the necessary pieces to assemble the top bracket, three pieces made out of 5mm stock plate. We make the two holes on the side panels using a press drill with a step bit.

Then we tackle the bottom wheel support, spacers and the center pin.

What did we do:

Transfer of the blue print to the stock
Cutting of the stock
Perforation
Assembly and welding of the pieces
Creation of the spacers
Carving of the bottom support pin

PART THREE THE LIFT MECHANISM

In this 3rd and final part we make the lifting mechanism for the bottom anvil.
We went to see my neighbor, Mr. Pietro, to use his lathe so we could make the piston and cylinder for the system.
Them we CNCed a pocket on the tube to fit a pin on the piston so it would travel straight up and down and finalized the build of the English wheel.

What did we do:

worked the piston and cylinder on the lathe
CNCed a pocket on the steel tube
Welded the tube to the main structure
finalized the build
tested the english wheel with a piece of aluminum sheet
