Todd,A long time ago, Cedge (screen name), wrote an extremely useful article on making curved-spoke flywheels...http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/showthread.php?t=2811Unfortunately, as his addendum indicates, all pictures have been removed as a protest to the copyright policies of the new owners of HMEM. However, I'm sure that if you contacted Steve (assuming he's still around) and explained what you are attempting to do, he would send you the pictures.Also, in that thread you'll find a post by me wherein I point out...If you have back issues of PIM ("Projects in Metal" - the forerunner of "Machinist's Workshop"), the Duclos article on constructing curved spoke flywheels (the article from which the book entry Steve refers to was taken) is on page 4 in the April 1988 issue.
Marv,Thanks for the pointer! With a little searching, I also found a post from Cedge that highly recommends "The Shop wisdom of Philip Duclos" as a reference. With a little more searching I see some high recommendations for this book even on this forum so I may have to put in my order asap and give it a read.Todd
