Thanks guys,

The pic's were just a bit of fun.... I like to see what effects I can get  :D

The Base did come out well didn't  it  8)  Just pure luck that Dek gave me some stainless discs just as I was making the main part   :ThumbsUp:

MkI failed, MkII came out pretty good and this the MkIII finger engine is a much sweeter runner.... Dare I say it...? I think I'm getting better at this machining game  :thinking:




It's always nice to finish something... and to have it appreciated too :cheers:

Ralph, beautiful work. It sure would be pretty on my desk. Loved the effects. Let's see, how bout driving a small dynamo, powering a light ring built in a base. You could determine your stress level by the brightness of light. :LittleDevil:

Eric,
Thank you.

Dek's been trying to get me to do similar.... Well, he wants a light up/flashing flywheel!!

We will see :noidea:

It'd barely glow for me on most days  ;)



Don, Happy you like it too..... Effects on the flywheel/base or the photography? Either way thank you.  ;D

What have you got to lose? If your good lady don't like it you get to keep it    :ThumbsUp:   :ROFL: 


Maybe a little of this to go with it though...    :slap:




OK, perhaps flowers... Or an iron?  :shrug:

Ralph a real nice bit of Ornamental Turning and Machine Turning on that very impressive. Something even I could have  go at. I am sure my grandson's would love it.

Ralph what size was the base disc? it almost looks like a Hard drive platter.

Think she's hankering after a new tumble drier, a couple of
Months ago it was full of fluff, cleaned it all out and sorted it, then the belt snapped - sorted that now yesterday
She said it wasn't working, but it is! It's like she's willing it to break!

Jo, I think we could safely say you're one on a few million!  :)


Ray, Thank you. No reason why you couldn't make something similar  :ThumbsUp:  The steel part of the base is 140mm across.
3mm thick stainless... Damn hard stuff!   Aluminium would have been used cause it's easy. But the SS disc was already there  :)


Nick... Buy the drier. It's never usually that easy.... But you may need to put a bow on it  ;D
