New shop tool almost done (pics)
I just about finished building my english wheel tonight. I've been wanting to get one for a while now, but couldn't justify the cost. For what I wanted, that was anywhere between $500 to $1000. So, that alternative was to build one. I have about $160 in this one, and from what little I played with it tonight, I think I will work great. It is about 72" overall heigth, and about 40" to the pinch point. Throat depth is 22".
I still need to clean up a few welds, make the adjustment wheel for the threaded rod, put the casters on the legs, and then paint it. Not sure exactly what I'm gonna do with it in the future, but it will be fun to play with and learn how to use it. And, it was fairly cheap!
