.......I'm having no luck finding Chris's Stanley Steamer project. I know he promised so it must be here somewhere. If anyone can point me to it...I'd appreciate it. (He forgets I'm not that far away...and I personally know some of his elves.)
I was thinking a person could cut segments out of 1/4" sheet and then laminate two thicknesses together, staggering the joints and pinning them with brass rod. Much like a wooden wheel would be built. Pockets for the spokes could even be milled into the segments before assembly. In fact the hub and spokes could be assembled and then the rim assembled over the spokes. Jim
