Powder Keg:
(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.

Brass_Machine:
That's nifty! I like.  :beer:

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

Any chance of a quick post with some pics?
