How do you weld the plywood? END QUOTE
O Chunko' , you use threaded rods.
QUOTE Fantastic work, I would be terrified of it getting bashed or scratched.
Well I can't compete with a tenner, so best add a naught on the end.
I hoard stuff, I bought the pillow bearings about 6 years ago the hoist was picked up about 3 years ago and the top wheel probably 18 months, most projects I have are rarely done quick but they're normally cheap or free.
Is that a bead roller built into the bottom rail on your english wheel if it is I wouldn't mind a better look at how you made it, a bead roller is something else on my to do list.
