Hi from Wellington

[tdoty]

My sister used to live in Wellington, Illinois. When her and her kids moved out of town they must have lost 2 percent of the population! Yes, it's a small town

Good to see you here!

Tim I thought Wellington NZ was small......I just walked down Main Street using google street view......the place is dead. It's a shame because I like small towns, usually great places to bring up kids.

Ok I see now it is worth double posting these.

The stub axle started as 50mm hi tensile, turned down to 35mm for the wheel bearings. Rock solid, no flex.

I can credit you Kerry for the frame design, I just added my own touches here and there.

Here's my mechanical planishing hammer, still a bit to do.

Yes, Wellington, IL is a "bedroom community". When my sister lived there, the local "grocery store" was run out of someone's garage. Aside from the post office, that was it! It used to be a small country town with a few businesses and some light manufacturing. Unfortunately, many of the small towns around here have ended up the same or are headed that way.

I thought it was kinda strange walking down Main Street, no shops?

No shops, not even a petrol station within something like 6 miles.

Nice looking machines!
