DWSUDEKUM Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Neat wheel... now who stole the wheelbarrow?????? Perhaps you could make a cart that uses those wheels and use it as a planter perhaps? DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Butcher Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I heard once that the First wheel wasn't the best invention...it was the second wheel. Tonight i found a thin (1") sanding belt a got to wondering if i could make a vertical sander. So this is what i have started.

jamminjack Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Sometimes we make things just for the sake of making them...... Don't ask me how I know this.. Its a good feeling when were done though.. You stand back and say Yea I can do that.... Good job on the wheels. I vote for a slim line sander..... More of a challenge ... Come on you know you want to... Thanks for sharing, and let us know what you come up with.... Graeme Butcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryEA Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Nice! I'm trying to figure out how you got the spokes in ... Yea,the holes are deeper than the spokes are long...I think No doubt you can do a gear clock.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Butcher Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Forget the sander ,now you have to turn the wheels into a plant cart for moma! You mean like a planter? Oh no no no. I'm all about wooden mechanical. But, hey, thanks for your input. Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Butcher Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nice! I'm trying to figure out how you got the spokes in ... Yea,the holes are deeper than the spokes are long...I think No doubt you can do a gear clock.. I will try over depth holes next time. For these ones i accidentally broke the hub and then glued and clamped the spokes in situ. Cheating i know. I have made the escapement wheel for the clock. I had to make my own plywood using Australian Blackwood. The other day i drilled what i thought was the center hole. It was only a 3mm bit so i can fix it when the forsner bits that i ordered arrive. I have learned that if i can get the escapement, rocker, weight and pendulum working then the rest of the clock is academic. Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 All of us just want to get out there and scroll and we don't care what we cut most of the time so why not make a wheel or two, the wagon will come along later I guess.

Graeme Butcher Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Just a tensioner , an aligner, and a table with drill holder to go. I may yet change the frame to a 'C' shape design. Edited March 3, 2015 by Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Butcher Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Isn't it always the way. This is on hold. I have been asked to make a pair of rocking chairs. First i need to make a steam bending box, and steamer.... and learn how to bend and/or laminate. I feel a new thread ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
