nice.....

hope you never knock it over, that is a helluva lot of moment/inertia there to put a huge dent in something...ouch !!!!


would've been easier to mount the rim on the car and put it in gear...not the safest method, but effective (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

It kinda surprised me how stable it is.
I was prepared to screw the barstools legs to a 44 inch dia table top.

I thought about the car idea.....should sumthin' get caught it would throw you into Wednesday.....at best. I can stop this thing. It's turning maybe 50-70 rpm.

Yippieee...I got one right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I guess all those games of mouse trap I played as a kid helped out and building Rube Goldberg devices didn't go to waste.

Looks good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I thought about trying to use my standup drill press for polishing...

I resemble that remark

Polishing a spinning wheel unsafe? I'm sure you'll talk smack about my kick-ass backyard dyno!

My name is Andy and I did not endorse this message, personally I'm surprised whoever made this thing survived whatever previous ideas led up to creation of this device.
