Darren:
That drill looks great .... like the post .... pun intended  :lol:

Powder Keg:
Thanks Darren!

Back to the Grinder. I chucked up a piece of steel and there was a old style flat pulley right in the middle of it:o) I still have to cut the crown on it.



Here is what it looks like now\o/



I need to get the metal for the tool rests. That will be a fun lathe project:o)

Powder Keg:
I started whittling on my flat pulley rim. Almost too big for my old lathe!!!



I'm cleaning up my mill during the long cuts. I'll start squaring up my Oak bearing blocks\o/

chuck foster:
looking good wes..............what diameter is the big pulley?

chuck  :wave:

Powder Keg:
Thanks chuck!!! The Od will be near 12.750". I managed to get through that flame cutting.



It was pretty slow going. While the pulleys were running, I maanaged to get my wood bearings squared up. I roughed them out on my band saw, then milled them square. What a mess!!! Even for me:o)



I'll set up a vise stop to drill the bolt holes. That way, maybe, they'll all line up:o)

Wes
