I've been watching this on eBay.

Looks like the £90 it cost me to make mine was money well spent.


It made


£870

I made them Mark.

It's amazing the number of people that throw away 3" long bits of 8" pipe

How about making a set of instructions / plans for some of us to have a go making one as well?? Would definately pay a few quid for those...

Good stuff.
I'm looking at making a planishing hammer. Same sort of thing.
Did you harden the wheels?
What are they made from?

You might find my english wheel thread if you click this.
(never done a link before so it's probably doomed to failure)

Ooerrr. I think that works.

Wheels are mild steel, case hardened.
