We want photos Jim ... maybe even a video, before, during and after build. Heck, a build thread wouldn't go amiss for that matter!
I had planned to, but there would be way to much swearing and cussing Daniel.
These things are a test of patience putting them together
The frame is together now.
Made a brass mandrel to fix the position of the blades.
I have painted the tips of the blades now.
Made a pulley for the blades.
Made a wooden base for the frame.
Now I'm trying to work out how to mount the pulleys like Bruce did in a faux 'pump' with roller bearings and some more pulleys.
The major bugbear now is getting the pulleys lined up so that that the pulley cord doesn't foul the cross brasses in the three (3) places where it can.
I take my hat of to Bruce's workmanship being the frontiersman that worked out how to do this initially.
I must have increased Bruce's YT channel count in the last 48 hours repeatedly watching his videos of his Aero's
Truly TRULY a test of a mans patience these things are !!!!!!!!!
