Made a few wheels on my homemade screw chuck.

Not as specky as Jeff's little boxes, but......

I've been cutting car shapes out of any offcuts that won't do anything else in my travels, so had a little collection for Small Boy and his friends to make for a holiday activity. All I needed was a couple of wheels. Actually HEAPS of wheels. So I made a miniature screw chuck, cos the axles were only going to be 3mm or so. Used a bit of spotted gum held in the 4 jawed chuck and screwed a chipboards screw from the back. Drilled holes in the middle of lots of little squares of ply. And off I went. Discovered I'd drilled the holes a bit big cos the threads stripped a bit easy, but I managed 32 before the concentration gave way and I couldn't not strip them. :D

Nice work Tea Lady. You obviously have more patience that I do! I can't make a matching pair of anything yet.

Do you have names for the different model's and shapes yet . :rolleyes:

[tea lady]

Do you have names for the different model's and shapes yet . :rolleyes:Not till after they are painted, then they will be "the red one", " the green one", "the blue one", etc.:p

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Too plain, no pizzazz. You should paint one orange with black stripes, one blue with yellow stripes, one grey with red stripes, etc.

Then you can call them "the Triton one, the GMC one, the Ozito one..." :wink:

[tea lady]

To plain you say? But they will have spoilers too.:D
