Fractions? Math? Or doing it segment by segment? Trying to get a round cone from the segments is the PITA

You've already gotten further than I would have!  Your jig is a bright idea and I believe required for success!  Forming the cone was expected to be a PITA but then the screw threads!

Looking good! :handgestures-thumbupright:

 

But...what’s up with all this “PITA” talk...

 

“People Ingesting Tasty Animals”?

 

What’s that got to do with balancing your tubes??? :confusion-confused:

I'm really hoping the threads are easier

Can you have them done before Christmas? What kind of box are you going to use to ship them? Can you pack them real well using Pamper diapers so there's no damage? Please mark as fragile. How much for shipping?

Ah man it fells good to be a customer instead of on the other end. No wonder why people are such a huge PITA

      Hey guys I have been given a box of these flap wheels.
      5.25" x 1.5" with a 1" arbor hole.
      I instantly thought great I can put one on my bench grinder. 
      Nope!    Not that simple.
      The arbor size is different, and it's to wide to fit inside the the guard.
      I thought of removing the guard but would like to have it there.
      I guess I could make an arbor adapter and a spacer for the guard,and a new tool rest,etc. More time involved then first thought.
       
      Does anyone use these, and if so what do you have it on?

      Hello fellas. I bought this 211-3 tractor. I have no clue how this mower deck comes off. I need to fix some areas on the deck, as well as replace a clutch cable. I can't seem to find pictures of a complete deck for this model as it should be. Need help.

      Let's see your view from your workplace "window". I know some are driving truck,or tractor, work in shops/offices or outdoors. What is it that surrounds you during your work day?

      I've had some stuff laying around for a while now. I've had some ideas kicking around my head for a while as well.
      Well they met each other a few days ago.
      This is going to be a camp buggy of sorts. 
      Like any of my other builds I would appreciate any input anyone want to donate.
       
      The base is an 1982-88 Yamaha G1 golf cart.
