I did more clean up on both the Crown Wheel outer circle and the spokes and hubs. This included punching the hole for the arbor. The next step is to punch the holes for the spokes into the outer wheel. Then comes the part that I've been having problems with. That is getting the spokes inside the outer wheel.
Also, I remembered that because of some things I learned last year that I need to remake the Crown Wheel arbor. I'm going to try to do it sometime during the week.
Next time on the forge, I should have the camera again.

One step forward, two steps back.
Continued work on Crown Wheel #3
Spent some time this afternoon working on the Crown Wheel. I started the day cleaning up the hub and spokes a bit more. Once I was done with that, I formed the circle for the Crown Wheel (but not welded closed). Unfortunatly I do not have access to the camera today so no photos.
Going to head back out right now and try to get the wheel mounted on the spokes. This has been my trouble area in the past...
