English Wheel build

[worntorn]

Hi Don

I've made the fenders for the two Ossas (see Ossa Movie in Personal projects) and will start back on the Egli tomorrow.

I'll get back to you on the mosaic. I'm leaning toward the Egli-Vincent Scroll.

wruehl, I don't have a set of detailed plans. The basic frame dimensions came from one of the metalshaping sites I have been logging onto for the past month or so. Some of the general info for the adjuster dimension, ie , use a piece of inch and a half 1/4" wall square tube for the quill, use a 3" square tube for the outer, came from the same site.
If anyone wants to build one like this, my advice is get started, just PM me with any questions, or ask them here, I'll be glad to help. Since I just finished the build, I still have the dimensions in my head, maybe for another week or two at least!

Mike, the wheeling is not at all difficult to do. The biggest thing is probably what Don mentioned, keeping your fingers out of the way.

I'm thinking about building a powered bead roller soon. I made a little hand tool for folding or hemming the edges. It works OK, but what a tedious procedure that is!

If you would like to move forward with a nice 3D model and drawing package all I would need is a rough sketch with as many dimensions as you can muster. I might pester you later for detail or missing dims as the model progresses, but it should be relatively painless. I'm not sure I would build one, but I want to keep my SolidWorks skills sharp, and this looks like it would be fun. No pressure, its your design/adaptation and will always remain that way. If you want to document it for the masses, I'm willing to donate the time.

Sure , I'll get dimensions down and will post them here.

Don is pushing me to get back onto the Egli build, so I might not get to it for a bit!

It worked though , I wish I had half your talent and all your tools then I would be 1/4 the fabricator you are glen Great job on the wheel. But as I have said before, I think I'll stay away from that and the Pnumatic planishing hammer.
