You may have answered this earlier...If it's going to be painted, why use expensive brass rather than steel?Oh yeah...I'm still watching. And your little droppings in other threads have not escaped me either.
If I was rich instead of good looking, I'd make everything out of brass. It is so much nicer to machine than steel. I just called my metal supplier for two 1" thick discs of 6" diameter steel to make flywheels for my newest project, and I dread the thought of hogging out the cavities on both sides between the hub and the rim.
Dog that is slicker then grease on a slip and slide. Awesome results Chris now did I say ......I ......like...... Don
Oh, for you metal-only folks, this 'wood' stuff is what is inside those 'tree' things in your yard, that have all those flappy little 'leaf' things, and drop branches on your power lines. It can be used to make things - sort of a home-grown aluminum, just in rough-cast form!
