Well did the fly wheels I don't own an rotary table yet so did the without.
First I picked out a piece of drop end 1.05 thick.
Looks like this piece will work just fine.
Now to rough it out so I don't have to much material to turn off on the lathe.
On to the lathe in the 4 jaw to rough them out.
Now switched to 3 jaw to finish first side and drill and ream shaft hole.
Then I switched to the 5c collet to finish second side.
Here are the finished blanks.
Now off to the mill to drill 1/4 holes in all the corners to be used to locate and mill out the spokes.
Here is the blank with all holes drilled.
Loaded on fixture to mill from hole to hole.
Here all holes have been connected using the little fixture.
Here is what the little shop aid looks like. Not much to it 2 holes 2 pins and 2 clamps.
ok
now

at
the
next hight tech tool
Finishing to the inside radius of the flywheel caution is needed. I used a 1/4 stripper bolt and for the leaver apiece of 2x2 that was handy. I used a 3/16 dia. cutter so things wouldn't get away from me. It worked out very well. Doesn't look pretty but it works.
And here is the finished fly wheels.
Next I think I'll work on the crank shaft.
