Good work

Robert

Phew!!! its a lot of hard work, did you get much distortion when you punched out the centre?

Looks like Bob has been cutting that piece of steel by hand since October ;D

Seriously a nice job Bob and just shows what can be done when you set your mind to it.

Pete

Steely determination.... ;D

Could always have tried parting off (if you could hold 80mm in the chuck and have a 40mm tool!)...at least you could have read a book while winding it in :big:

Seriously I thought my manual efforts with 35mm steel bar were Herculian, 80mm is real man-size, well done Bob!

HI thanks for the comments the 80mm stock is stainless steel not steel when i was serving my time if you made a big boo boo you had to cut a lump of a peace of railway line that soon tort you 1 not to do boo boos and 2 yous a hacksaw

Your fly wheel is looking good, your built up method of construction worked well, I'm going to have to try that some time.
