(o: Yesterday I managed to get the major portion of my Cranks cut out. They still have some more work before they will be considered done. I drilled and counter bored the end then machined a profile to make it look nice. I then started by drilling the pedal adjuster holes and axle hole. I machined the blank to thickness and machined the scrolls on the face. I'm pretty excited how they turned out. Then I had to make some plugs to center the crank on the jig that I made. Here is the lot bolted together. That worked pretty good(o: I still have a bit of metal to remove. The pedal end will be thinned and the body will be tapered to where the axle mounts. I'll then file a slight radius on all the corners and polish things up. The scroll will be stained black with a chemical that I have. |

Wes you are doing a wonderful job on this build. Thank you for sharing it with us. Is the tire round or does it have a V to fit on the rim? and how is it held on the rim? Tom |
