That looks pretty heavy duty. Im about to start making one but plan on it being a tad smaller. Looking at bench or maybe wall mounted. I have a length of 60mm box (5mm). More of a squared 'G' shape with some bracing. Around 500mm - 600mm throat depth. They are a few imports around the £200 mark that just look way to flimsy and sturdier ones are £500 onwards. I figured I could make something more substantial but not huge for about £280 and make it to suit space and my own needs, mostly patch repair. Most of the budget being the platen wheel and anvils. Only working out of home garage so space is always tight. If I ever get any good using it or out grow it I can always make it bigger (or if i get a bigger garage).
Anyway looking forward to seeing your wheel complete.
Thanks cammy9r that’s the ones I’d been looking at! Overall are you happy with the quality of them?
Dcal how do the Justin baker ones compare price wise?
Thanks
