Thanks Randy. I think this one is the tenth ? one I built. This is the only one I made out of a solid lump.The others were a three piece affair.One inch ring on the bottem drilled for hub fitment,welded to a heavy wall tube (half in/wall thickness) for the riser,then a two inch thick ring for the top machined to fit inside the tube and welded and drilled for centre bolt.
The one pictured is about 15 years old now, and done it's share of hubs.
No longer have a shop or lathe,since moving into the city .
