Hi, Mick. Yes, I'm moving right along. I've done it two more times and now have a complete set. The larger (rear) wheels are 1 3/4 inches diameter and the smaller (front) wheels are 1 1/2 inches. I've considered a number of implements but as of yet was just trying to learn how to build good wheels. Having accomplished that, I think, the next step is now worthy of serious consideration.

Looking good Ralph, I remember seeing lots of good models of farm impliments at the Harrogate model engineering show, I might even have the odd photo , if I have I will post a couple, they were all sorts of ploughs hay balers etc, all really detailed. Cheers Mick. |

"Nice wheels", Ralph! :thumbup: Well done. :clap: :clap: David D |

Thanks, David. I think that these wheels would go well on a horse drawn wagon or a sulky plow, etc. But I've about decided to try to build a drawn grader like one that I remember operating in my youth. Ralph I have not been able to find 1/4 inch brass "I" beam nor "H, "C" etc, so decided to build my own. It looks crude, but a good solid "T" beam built of 1/4 x 1/4 inch might work. Both top and bottom rails were cut and formed then tied together tightly with wire and silver soldered along the whole length. And did it twice with good success. |

It's coming together . . . slowly. Ralph |
