WOW!
Just made a jaunt over to RCG and took a gander at your posts. You made that hub out of FLAT STOCK??!! Man! You have more patience than I do, plus my poor back would never allow me to stand at the lathe that long! I keep various diameters of aluminum round stock on hand, though 1", 1 1/2", and 1 3/4" round stock handle 99% of my needs. I'm even going to order some split rings and set screw collars because they are available ready made so cheap it doesn't pay to stand at the lathe and make them. Nice work though. Are TOM, Antique, and Jedi Jody still active over there at RCG? Tell 'em I said hi. Great engine guys!
