One of the hard parts of preparing the flywheel was done a long time ago, before cutting it round. The wheel rotates on a 1\/2 inch axle. I drilled the center hole and then used that hole as the pivot point for cutting the perimeter on the band saw<\/a>. Nice! Guaranteed center for the axle.<\/p>\n

Here, we see the axle mounted. I used the ever popular plumbing flange on both sides of the wheel. The purpose of this flange is to connect the wheel mass to the axle. That is done with a simple 9\/64″ hole drilled through the axle and a common “8 penny” nail through a pair of holes already in the flange. Simple. Snug. Done! (Oh well, almost. The axle will be cut to length later.)<\/p>\n

Yes, there’s a matching flange on the other side of the wheel. No pin through it; all we need is one. The real purpose of that flange is to provide a bearing surface for the washers that will keep the wheel centered between the uprights. You’ll see those later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
