The steering wheel came out great, Chris. You're getting this spoke business down pat! Now it just needs a Betty Grable steering knob! Well maybe not.............the Lombard was a little before her time. Jim
Geesh. I read a bunch of posts from you...and then just minutes later (it seems) there's another set.Very nice looking steering wheel. Are your elves chaffing to drive the thing?
Got a guy at work interested in Sherlines.He couldn't believe what was available and their size.But he doesn't believe me when I say, "Yes. They can carve steel".(I didn't tell him that 'They' are elves.)
That's a very sharp looking steering wheel Chris! Are you going to add a knob? (with our without Betty Grable? )And all your fab work on the boiler bracket is looking mighty fine too!Kim

Not even any Babe The Blue Ox figures from the rear view mirrors!

Must of been a real bear to steering that thing. Good work on that frame. I like how you will bolt it together for silver soldering. Filed that one away.Jim
But, thats enough for one day, time to go get a cookie and relax...Must be a lot of energy in those cookies Chris with this non stop work. I am thinking you must of worked for Santa at one time or another seeing as how you don't come up for air very often..... But hey Dog the work is great and following your work is remarkable....Don
