Joe, I have a similar long term project on the go. It wasn't meant to take so long but distractions have dragged it out a little. If you are interested I've posted a couple of pictures here: http://www.alloyavenue.com/vb/showthread.php?5847-Burrell-4-quot-Single-Crank-Compound-Agricultural-Engine |

Hi Dave I think that doing the individual strakes was less strain. Do enjoy pondering other approaches even if they don't suit the available machinery or skill! Zadig: Now you've done it! Had a really quick look at your project, will have to spend a few hours reading it. Looks damn fine from the quick peek I just took. Thanks for the link. Joe |

Still rolling along with wheels... with the spokes held onto the rim with some 0-80 screws, drilled, clearance drilled the spokes, counter sunk the spokes, and shifted to the pillar tool for tapping (first run for tapping with this, what a pleasure!) to secure the inner end of the spoke to the hub popped it off the jig, stuck on the external bits of the hub just for a look... bashed in the rivets to hold the spokes to the rim, and then sweated the hub bits together trued it up in the 4-jaw and bored the axle hole to size, and here we are after a bit of clean-up the second one is waiting for clean-up, and then that's it for front wheels!

Looking very well Joe. That tapping stand looks a handy tool. |
