Hi Steve, I was admiring the very fine machining of the cast iron shown in your lathe, and then on to the following pictures, am I right in believing you've taken that cast iron "sheeve", turned it into a wheel hub, and the arm(s) are to be spokes? I must say, your lathe turns a very fine finish on the iron, and it looks great. I see lots of small parts and rivets in your future

that should be a fine looking beastie when she's done. Very nice work and nice layout altogether. Looking forward to learning something about traction engines.

Cheers, mad jack
