Wes,
I have now read this whole post, and what a fascinating thing to build. Is there nothing your talents won't try?
Fantastic work.
BTW, I noticed earlier on in the post about cutting threads for the spokes.
Actually, I have in my possession two original spoke thread rolling machines.
I purchased them for one pound each off a car boot sale. Having offered them to a museum, and had the reply that they already have enough of them, I decided to keep them, hoping I could find a use for the castings and handwheels.
It is such a shame you are on a different continent, you could have had them with my pleasure, only the cost of shipping to you would be horrendous.
Ah well!, that is life.
Keep up the great work
John
BTW, Rob, if you want these two, they are yours. Pick them up whenever you are near enough.

Holy... :jaw: Wow!
Wes this is brilliant :clap:
Lots of awesome crafting and shape making.... Most impressed :bow:
I know, I've been AWOL for a while but I'm trying to get on more. Looking forward to seeing the rest :thumbup:
Ralph.

Maybe we could check on shipping? I like the one that has the clamp on it. What thread pitch are the dies? Glad to see you around John :D
Bogstandard:
Wes,
I have no idea at this time, but I will root them out from storage and do a check for you.

Today I managed to get all the lathe work done on the endcaps for my pedals. I am happy with how they turned out.
I've been making parts for my new shaper. I should be able to finish the endcaps this next weekend. If I can stay with it. There is still a fair amount of metal to come of he endcaps. the centers will need to be case hardened also. I'll have an excuse to use my heat treat oven\o/
Wes :wave:
