You are right on the wheels, there is no head on the spokes. What I found was by the time I got all 24 spokes through the rim and threaded into the hub, it took a hard tap with a brass hammer to move the rim. With the indicator on it, I just keep moving the wheel around and tapping on the rim on...

As always Dennis, really nice looking work. JimN

You are not alone, LOL JimN

Looking good Zee, nice work. JimN

You are right, they are from a brass pipe and the gears are exactly what Dennis used in his build. All from same place as he listed, www.sdp-si.com. I had to have the rear rims trimmed for me, since there are to big to do on my sherline lathe. I bought the pipe from Online Metals. Thanks for...

Finially got the rear wheels all done, keep getting sidetrack on other things. I tapped and threaded the spokes before starting to put them together. Once that was done, I put them on a balance plate to make sure the alignment was ok. After that, put the grouters on, and painted them. I...

Nice work Dennis. In regards to wick material, I know someone on here gave a place where you could buy ceramic material to be used in burners. For the life of me, can't find that again, now that I want to check it out. Considering your burn time Dennis, if you could put a water tank behind the...
