I said in a video that I'm not a carpenter, or a cabinet maker, or pattern maker, but I want a single speed pulley on the Cincinnati so the only way I have of getting one is to make this pattern that you guys have put up with me posting all the photos (I know how Ed like's pictures). No its not a work of art, you have to get TomG for that from the woodwork I've seen from him.
This is hopefully only going to be used one time and who knows maybe in a hundred years someone will find it and say, Hey look what some Redneck cobbled together.
This is going to probably be the last of the pictures where it looks sorta pretty, from here as soon as a knock together a flask out of something I will try to ram it up, I think I have a smooth enough finish on it that it will pull, but the only way to know is to bury it in some sand and try to get it back out.
And I'm also tired of sanding on the damn thing.
I really didn't know if I would be able to pull this off or not, the only wood working tools I have are a hand saw and a skill saw, I used my neighbors table saw, and borrowed a miter saw from a buddy to do this with.
I do want to thank everyone that has commented on it.
I have a couple more pieces that I want to make for the shaper, one is the crank I don't have one, and there is suppose to be a hand wheel on it that is used to position the ram its missing so I still have some work to do after I see if I can cast this I have and A20 which should be plenty big but may have to have a smaller one on hand to feed the shrinkage, won't know on that till it happens.
