Construction Day 10

Only a late afternoon of engineering to-day !!!


Continued to machine up the wheel blanks and now have just 4 more to complete of the 16 required.

Have ground up a tool to put the wheel profile on the tread in accordance with the local society requirements which is indicated in the adjacent picture.

The dimensions of the profile will need to be carefully checked as I do not want to go wrong after so much has been done to the wheel blanks so far - about 1 hour's work on each including the 30 minutes to cut it from the stock steel!
