Don't have an engine in mind. Just wanted to make a flywheel from the back of Elmer's book.

Looks nice! I think it is a bit of magic when spokes appear from careful measurements and wheel twiddling.
It will now need an engine !

Thanks for the comments!

I was leaning towards the mill engine, but a major clock restoration project has replaced engines for my winter project. I had already started on the flywheel so I figured I'd finish it for later.
