[TheForge] Whotsit

[Richardson, Grover]

Yes, actually looking at the other posts, I agree it looks like a wheel bender.

However, there is quality in making as many wheels the same size as possible.  You only need one jig.  For each wheel<G>.  This jig allows one to make three different wheel diameters with a jig  the size of only the largest.  Makes excellent sense, once I see it.

All the best

There are a lot of different wheel diameters: buggy wheel, wheel barrow, hack, cargo wagon, etc. Iron tired wooden wheels were the norm for centuries and I don't see any reason a wheel wright or smith wouldn't have a dedicated piece of equipment. Have a new set of wheels made for your surry and all you'd need is a plucky pony to pulley around. <grin>

Accursed spell check on the mini pad, Arg.  Pulley, not plucky.

the description says, would be fir variable ratios on a plucky.
