OT--Finished the Pendulum wheel

[Pitchy]

Finished the pendulum wheel today, had to wait for the red oak to dry a little before i could put the polly on it.
That red oak really shows the grain, thought ya might like to see it done.

Pitchy that is really cool. I was wondering - do you mill your own lumber for these projects?
Do you make the outside groove on the wheel on a router table?

Gents,
What doesa pendulum wheel do???

[J Miller]

A pendulum swings back and forth.

Pitchy, I like this one too. That knot hole in the wheel adds character.

Looks great Pitchy

Thanks gents, Joe that hole goes all the way through, kinda cool.

Paul best thing to do is do a search on U-Tube on pendulum spinning wheel .
I do have another thread here showing me spinning on it.

octagon, yep saw out my own lumber, which is exactally what i`m going to do this morn. Found a big dead pine tree we`re going to saw into some lumber for the next one.
I grind the groove in with the edge of the blade in my side grinder.
I`m thinking about building the mother of all spinners the spinning Jenny.
