Hi Gimbal,
An excellent piece of workmanship. I like the quality of the finish on your wood parts.

Very very nice Gimbal...a fine melding of metal and wood and obviously a good runner too. At what scale did you model yours...it seems much larger that Elmer's version...but I haven't looked at his plans for that one recently either.

Great work. I like the changes you made to the original plans.

Cheers

With the exception of the flywheel that is 8" (from memory), the scale is 1:1 with Elmer's drawings.
