flat belt pulley pattern

[dallen]

Ok I got around this morning after mowing the damn grass



then I started in working on making gussets for the flat belt pulley, well the thin snapped apart at the glue line between the pine and the masonite that my neighbor gave me, I wasn't really a happy camper when this happened


so it was off to town for some 1/4 inch ply in birch found a quarter sheet for 13.00 dollars


got all cut as you can see in the photo above then mounted them up in the lathe and turned em round cause I can saw worth a damn. and then it was back to the glue


here you can see that with the two layers of 1/4 inch ply I will end up with a 1/2 inch thick web in the pulley, with the masonite if it had of worked I would of ended up with 3/4 inch web. I might of been able to of thinned it down but I think it wouldn't of been worth the work.
