Cast Iron Crank Wheel
-
Doodling the other night while listening to a Zoom meeting I wasn't really into it but had to "be at". Based on a technical drawing from the late 1800s. Not as cool as Tuna's village but good practice especially for working with multiple curved surfaces.

Very nice Dave.
-
Primo Dave.... and don't soft sell yourself your mechanical bits are very cool
-
Thank you both. I appreciate it.
-
Nice!
-
These 'mechanical bits' are very cool and very well done.
-
Good start for an early farm implement.

Could be Jim. At least if the wheel was smaller. The one I modeled is 32 in. in diameter and 6 in. thick. It would weight nearly 745 pounds not including the crank pin. Maybe that's more than the mower weighs.
-
At that size and weight I would take a guess that it is the flywheel for an oil or maybe hot air engine? Nice technical execution as always!
-
Probably from a steam engine.
Thank you.
