    Default Steady On

    At last almost done just wheels to fit when I get the longer bolts for the shaft/axle's. Took while as i made it over the last few weeks while suffering worst case of lurgy we have had in years.

    That's excellent. Now I know whom I should ask if I need one made.

    What are the wheels you are going to use?

    Christos no problem when you get back to a workshop and use your lathe and need one I can send you plans

    The wheels are off a pair of in line skates I bought cheap, $10 a bargain being the wheels alone at stores are now closer to $30 a pair.

    A quick tack weld to the 1/2 bolts this morning prior our Melbourne visitors arriving. Then located some longer than original shaft bolts to mount the wheels these were from my old wheelchair which is long gone parts came in handy tho.

    Mounted the wheels and even had a test run just off the chuck while I gave a quick sand the rough surface of the wheels from there previous use.

    Two Jacaranda vases await for a final full test.



    Have to say thanks to Fletty for the fine job done rounding the edges of the main frame on his router table.

    Ray,

    A fantastic job . Out of interest on the last photo, is that where u store your tools? Perhaps I should come and see your workshop as mine won't seem so bad

    cheers

    Is that the closest Fletty has ever gotten to wood turning then?
