Looks like a standard day in the shop-including throwing a belt! Good to see your etech turning and good work on the pulleys but my favorite detail is the wooden floor.

Very nice Jim, it came out lovely. may I suggest you try a good running Jensen #55 & smaller drive pulley as your power source, the Ferris wheel is a massive flywheel in its own right & once moving helps steady/regulate the engine.

Very nice Ferry wheel - the steam engine
should have a smaller drive wheel for
constant speed - but its also fun with
speed. Thanks for the video, Arnold
