Weekend work...

  This weekend was a demo weekend at a boyscout camp.

  I decided to play around with making a new hub and spokes.  Things went pretty well but still a little unhappy with the results so I will probably try again.  Basically, the mistake this time was that I did not leave enough mass for the hub.  I probably could have made it work but decided it was better to just start from scratch.

  On another note, I am not going to take the clock to anymore demos.  I have mentioned quite a while back that I tend to rush a bit when people are watching me and the clock parts are going to get more complicated.  I cannot work on it with people watching.  When I do demos in the future, I will work on smaller, simpler projects.

  Also I did receive some good news from a gentleman that helped me get my original equipment.  I often let him know what things I am looking for and he in turn has a gentleman in Pennsylvania that looks for the equipment.  Well, he managed to secure a large round sharpening stone for me.  It is about 2' diameter.  I will have to make the stand for it but that is not a big deal.

  One of my goals has always been to have a more authentic setup.  The sharpening wheel will be a good addition...  I pick it up on Tuesday.
