I started an English Wheel project a few weeks ago to show my room mate how to do some dishing on a stump and as at the time I did not have an English wheel I made one from some stuff I bought at a surplus store and the local steel yard from there rem's pile. the frame is 3 x 3 x.250 and the legs are out of my scrap pile 2 1/2 pipe the slider parts are trailor hitch stuff I had laying around the wheel mount on a short piece of 2x2 .250 the top one has a plate on it so I could weld a nut on it to hold it in place from the top. The screw is a piece of 1 1/2 - 8 all thread I just happen to have laying around for about fifteen years (about 12 ft of it) and a $6.00 nut. Frame stuff cost about $18.00 the bearings (3) were about $20.00 and the legs cost almost $20.00 (the 90's on the front legs)
My next one is going to be out of 4 x 6 x .375 and will have about 32 inches to the back of the throat. The frame alone weights 187 by it self.
But that one I don't have the pic's downloaded yet.
