Due to starting the new job, didn't have as much time this weekend as I would have liked. However, I did still manage to get some forge work in. I decided to spend the day trying out some techniques for making a new Crown Wheel. Basically, it is how I connect up the hub to the outer ring of the Crown Wheel. I tried a few variations but finally found one that produces good results, is relatively easy and it appears it is a viable way that it may have been done on the original. I'm planning on next weekend being the weekend I finally remake the Crown Wheel. I really, really will try to get up some pictures. Words cannot quite describe how I am doing the Crown Wheel this time.
A good bit of news on the Crown Wheel. I did discover a hub that I had made on a previous attempt to remake the Crown Wheel. A quick glance at it and it looks like it would be perfectly fine to use in the new wheel. I have to take a better look at it. This would be good because one of the most time consuming parts is make the hub and spokes.
