    Hi I am looking for a company to make some compound curves in stainless steel for an art project. Someone using a powered english wheel would be great. Stainless would be 2mm or 3 mm thick.

    Any ideas appreciated I am in Ireland but this is not a problem.
    thanks
    Cathal

    "Powered English wheel" - None of the English wheels I've seen are powered. A common alternative to an English wheel is a power/planishing hammer. You might try asking on a custom car or auto restoration forum.
