Thanks for you input and comments, that fly wheel looks interesting your second picture especially I can see what you were trying to do, a pity it didn't come off, the basic idea seemed OK, perhaps you could have another go some time, you have to try these things and learn as you go.
Cheers

Ditto on the thanks.. The second flywheel I actually like better than what my first try was to be. It would of been a dull visual anyway even if the weird taper turned out
( a sure case of idea exceeding ability) The second version also gave me some insight on fitting parts. The rim is brass, the web is AL, the hub is two pieces of AL to make up a tapered lock arrangement. Them little studs to hold it together BLAH. Cutting out the radius on the web was the most fun. Rigged up a face plate and bored the radius out, rotated the part and repeated the op. Only have that little lathe so operations that would be done on a mill require some creativity, or in my case of not knowing any better, a doohickey to fashion the thing-a-ma-jig for the watch-a-ma-call-it.
I like reading this board, many good process's are played out. I have not seen any instance of "Mines better than yours" occur which speaks to the integrity of the members.
The general conversation of just a few regulars doing the posting seems to be a common one. I have humor, I'll be the first one to tell that guy in the mirror he's a nut and it shows in my writing style. I dont mind being told at all, constructive criticism is always appreciated and taken respectively.
So the next "Standing with Pride, lookie what I can do" will have pictures.

I would just like to add a thank you to Foozer above, for taking a bit of time out to let us know what he gets out of the site, and any comments like that are deeply appreciated.
Keep up the good work Foozer.

No thanks needed, you do spend a lot of effort to make this hobby enjoyable. You take the time to write up how-to's for items you can do in your sleep on a bad day neck deep in snow with the dog chewing your slipper. You also do these in a language that is clear even for one like myself who never can get the terminology right.
Sure you have a toybox full of bells and whistles, but your presentations focus on the procedures to which one lacking that specific shinny thing can always do a work around to achieve the same end. Many ways to an end and your writings, methods always give enough leeway that even I manage to comprehend and adapt to usage with what I have at hand.
Must be late for me and way to much in the butter up section :) I'd say grouchy old . . . but getting shot is something I'd like to avoid

Ok.... So this reply will be a little on topic a little off topic and a little fuzzy inbetween..... Why?
Because I'm human and that's what we do!
I've never ever been able to sit and talk to someone about a single subject in my life, I always end up on a random tangient talking about something very different than when I started! I do usually return to the point (not always!). That's just the way I am.
Now I'm assuming that many of you will be the same? You get to know someone a bit and the conversations you have wander all over the place?
I've been posting on here for I think around a year? In that time I've posted all sorts of S417!
But I've had a laugh and a joke, learned loads and hopefully helped, even inspired a few people along the way.... Surely that's what the forums are for?
Robert..... That middle picture looks like a brilliant idea.... :clap: Try again and post the way you do it please. You really should post this stuff..... Failure or not, it's damn good looking :thumbup:
So is the second one..... I don't give a hoot if 300 people use the same idea, everyone always does something a little different!
It all helps create more ideas for others too :thumbup:
It makes me a little sad to see this post becoming a bit of an argument..... I think it has nudged :poke: a few people into realising that (I) they havn't been as active..... I'm just enjoying myself!! ::)
Hoping for a happier outcome by the time I'm home from work? :D
Ralph. :wave:

Well....
As usual, I`ve landed here with it all having been said & discussed by many, far more eloquent than me. ::)
What happened to the comment, some time ago, "like being down the pub with your pals"?
What is the off topic section for?
Hobby wise, I`m into rather mundane bits & pieces from odds & ends at the moment, with little new to show.
Other than MK 11 plastic pistons, & SEL wick holders on their way to Australia...... :D
We`re not all projecting all the time!
Personally, I thought we had settled down nicely....... Is it me? ::)

David,
This topic was raised to cause a slight upset and to remind people that just a very tiny comment on someones post can make all the difference.
How would you feel if you had just spent three or four hours making up what you think is a very interesting post, and after it is posted, hardly any comments or questions appeared in relation to it.
Mainly because of the lethargy of other members.
It was purely done to shock those members into taking a little more notice of what they are reading and to take a little more interest in the site.
