Oh dear this is embarrassing, Well it took me about 3 months, on and off designing it. Then when I started to make it I thought I would make it upside down (so to speak) just for the heck of it.

To make it about 10 hours spread over about 2 weeks. I kept on changing my mind, and the design. That 10 hours doesn't include all the whoops!, bits I made didn't like and made them differently.

If one includes everything I would say 20 - 25 hours.

Bear in mind, I'm normally quite slow when I do things like this, I stop have a fag, cup of tea, biscuit, talk to the dog, watch the cricket.

No rush for me

I like it Dave
Did you mention a bit of a build log
John

[DaveH]

John,

Sorry no build log, when I built it I didn't take any photo's - no need to I wasn't a member of any forums at the time.
The photo of the flywheel on the Sherline was taken 2-3 years later.
The best I can do is take it all to "bits" and show the individual parts.
