English Wheel project?


 Idle musings... A giant C clap I picked up decades ago, because; well... you can never have enough clamps... and an orphan caster... is this the beginnings of an English wheel?  The caster could be replaced with a large ball bearing (must have one around somewhere...) I'd need an acme thread nut to lock the lead screw... make a bottom yoke, buy some rollers... 

Common sense says look in the classifieds for a complete unit that someone needs gone:-).... but.

  2. I'd've thought common sense stopped speaking to you a long time ago.
