    Yup, I couldn't believe my luck when I found a piece about 4' long with a nice big flange on each end.

    It does make the centre a bit high but I stand on a wooden duck board to use it.
    Cliff.
    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    But you don't have to dig the pit quite so deep to do that real Big PLATTER

    I can spin an 8footer if I move the duck board out of the way.

    No problems, it has a truck engine flywheel with starter motor ringgear around then edge... I can't remember how many teeth but it is something like 90 of them.
