Parts is parts
Very cold morning, My wife is working today @ the Children's hospital, taking care of the boys and girls with heart problems. She gets up around 4:30 am, and I was up before that loading the woodstoves, making tea and a sandwich for her. When she was gone, I had a worm spot in the kitchen, so I moved my work board in there.
I experimented with turning wooden pulley parts from a dowel chucked in a cordless drill with a grinding wheel in a dremil as a cutter. I also documented the last screw jack before it goes together.
These homemade pulleys have promose, as I may try to make some bigger ones to see if they will work on my R/C boats which could save me some $$ at a time my hobby budget is strapped. and I am facing possible massive future expendatures (it looks like MMI is going to make the 3 foot gauge 4-4-0, and I have two reserved in HOn3 and one in On3. the three could take a year and a half's train budget, fortunately I did not spend all of last years.
