> I know a lot don't own or have access to a lathe, but heaps of people have gotten back to me on YouTube and said that they really wanted to hob some drive pulleys after seeing these and have gotten pretty much the same results using a tap in a drill press with a cross slide vice that can push the pulley onto the tap.

Thanks, Jim...I do have a drill press...just need aa vice. Nice photos!

Cheers,

Jim
