In this long-awaited video, Ron Covell shows the ‘intimate details’
of making two very different gas tanks. The first is a flat-bottomed
chopper style tank made from steel, and the second is a comma-shaped tank
made from aluminum. Details of rubber mounting are clearly shown, along
with demonstrations of forming with hand tools and with an English wheel.Ron
takes you through the process of making both a flat-bottom steel tank and
a comma shaped aluminum tank. Take a look at some of the details from the

Ron goes through the entire process, starting with an overview of
frame design, explaining the concepts of rake, trail, and stretch. He
covers the use of chassis jigs, then goes on to show how to bend and fit
tubing to create a chopper frame to match any design. Ron's clear and
detailed explanations will help any builder get on the road quickly, with
a minimum amount of wasted effort. He also shows the use of both
entry-level and high-end tools for layout, cutting, and bending. With the
excellent instruction found here, building a frame may be an easier
project than you imagine!

Ron brings his signature easy-to-follow style to using the English
wheel, a machine notoriously difficult for beginners to ‘figure out’.
Starting with the machine’s history and a clear explanation of the
principles that enable the machine to move metal, Ron shows the basic ’tracking’
patterns that are used to shape panels of various sizes and
configurations.
In addition to the common techniques of wheeling, Ron also shows some
lesser-known processes, such as using a rubber top wheel, and doing
embossing with the machine. Whether you’re brand-new to the English
Wheel or an experienced user, you’ll find valuable information in this
video.
