Im not gonna buy a english wheel ever so...even tho i hate to break my rule (tools are for working with not working on) i gotta. a few days ago i found a newish 9/3 inch forged steel caster off a super heavy duty scrap hopper. after i cut the nylon tread off i built a yoke and then i talked a machinist into truing it right with the world and the center line on the bearings

Re: you pussys dont know heavy metal

Dang it, I thought this was going to be a Slipknot thread ;D. Beautiful work man, just tuck those thumbs in; I hear those wheels are notorious for making them flat and blue!

Re: you pussys dont know heavy metal

This should be fun to watch.
I'm in just because I want to see the results of you trying to break it when it doesn't cooperate.
(Hint: 3/8 is gonna be hard to break)
