Well that was a nice bit of improvisation Tim, looked as though it worked well :thumbup:

Nice work Tim, and great write up :thumbup:

Nice job Tim. Your running ahead of me now, I`ve got :proj: and keep working on my first engine build - I`m sure I`ll be inspired again once my belts arrived. How hard have the plates been in comparison with the pullys in terms of time taken, effort and thought. I thought I had it made once I`d done the pully but now looking at the motor plates, I think they look pretty tricky as well!
You have done an excellent job of adding the wings or ears, would it have been quite a bit easier if you had have had the full size material?

FWIW, it's generally a bad idea to hold an endmill in a drill chuck. Seems to have worked this time. Nice job.

Thanks Stew & CC :thumbup:

Not that hard actually, they've taken less time in actual machining, but more time in setting up and marking out and thinking how to machine them.

It would've been neater looking, and possibly a bit easier, but it would've meant a lot of cutting (and I only have my right arm as a power hacksaw :lol: ) plus you still have to make the spacers, so why not use slightly bigger spacers and bolt them on the side like I did?

Thanks Kvom, that's a good reminder not to be lazy about using the best tool ( a collet ) for the job, not making do with the easiest tool. (the drill chuck that was still mounted from chain drilling)
