Paul,
I will bet you "London to a Brick on" if you slapped that (TP1) betwixt the optics, The Baby Blues, with a 6" x 4" x 6' Plank with a Bridge Spike hanging out of it alls would happen is the Face would implode as the Head Deflated.. BANG! "Cop that young Harry"

Sorry Saby,
I think it will be hard to find a "Nikrum compatible conversion and interpretation manual" as they are long out of print...
some would say Nikrums is one of a dying breed
.

some would say they arent dying out fast enough!!
where abouts in Canada are you, we will be in Vancouver next week!
Yup! Sabydent,
Much of my rhetoric is from a time gone by, terms of the Old School. I love them and will keep them alive as long as I can Don't worry that is only for going to be for a few more years. I love the old days, the days when a man spt in his palm and shook on a deal, that deal was as good as having been written in Blood. I do not give my word lightly and when I do I stick to it "By Hook or by Crook"
. I think you may find TP1 and myself entertaining with our thrusting and slashing across these threads. I am sure TP1 Loves me[}:)] You know, he loves to hate me.
Anyway have you selected a name for your machine yet?
Ron
Ok! For the benefit of the Boffins,
Today, along with Housework, the boss is away gallivanting,Yard Work etc. I managed to endear the Downwind neighbors a little more. What a foul job re-grooving tires is, clouds of white foetid smoke and flying molten Nylon Pugh! But Re Groove I did to the first layer of Canvas. Something I did notice, which may have had some influence on my 3D wobbles of the other day. The wheels are quite badly out of balance, they really get the circular shakes at speed.. Does anyone concur?? I doubt, that given the Rims and the size of the tires balancing will be out of the question
Ron
PS; For those that have trouble understanding my turn of phrase. If I suitably confound you then I am truly happy[}:)] [}:)]
Put axle in vice with wheel attached. Spin wheel slowly a few times. Using chalk mark top position each time it stops. Using silicone attach small pieces of lead to centre of chalk marks. Spin again, repeat process until wheel stops without spinning backwards. Wheel is now ballanced. If you need large amounts of lead in one area attach to both sides of wheel. Notice:- only attach to wheel not tyre D'uh.
As to dying out of your 'old breed' EXTERMINATE them all![}:)][}:)]
Gawd Strewth! We got a Darlek among us Exterminate, exterminate.. What are you TP1?? A member of the Hitler Youth Movement Old Farts Society??
I know from how to balance a wheel, now take a 6"x4" Rim add an Aircraft tire, Like Buku Rubber, Big BIG Rubber, small rim. Duh! Lots of Lead required!!
Yuz wuz Right Paul, Aircraft tires do present a few unique problems.
Ron
PS: TP1, I guess I will have to holler Uncle, I am tiring of the barbs and what is more we are confusing our Lingo deprived Northern Cousins, not to mention upsetting some of our local members.
Eloquent Brian, very eloquent, You have also managed to gently insult me. Oh! There is a deal of intelligence behind the Dull Eye, I just prefer not to highlight the fact to boldly for fear of making those inferiors feel too ill equipped.
It would appear that the antics of TP1 and myself across the vast expanses of these pages tends to grate on the nerves of some members. I fear that I will have to tone my efforts, to entertain and amuse, down as I may insult, confuse or perhaps, Heaven Forbid, I should make us Aussies course and ignorant to those brethren across the mighty Pacific. Heaven forbid I should make the ignorant look foolish..
Ron
PS; There now I should have suitably upset a few members tonight
Nah. I think the problem is that non-topical discussions tends to be distracting. If one is to treat a forum as conversation, it is inapporpriate to change the topic during the conversation especially if the point of the conversation is to garner information. Nikurm's page is a great spot for the other stuff.

Crikey!!!! With such a sharp and cutting wit as that remind me not to get in your chair. Puts me in mind of "The Marathon Man".
Is it safe?
Gawd! Crickey Dick! What are you Galahs Jabber'n about??? Keep it up and I'm gonna have to open up me bl**dy PC and dig out the Bull Dust.. Cinnamon's and Antimens and Bleed'n dictionaries ain't what it is all about. Problem you Human's have got so far up yourselves you need to have all that garbage to help you organize your lives. This is not what these posts are about.. They are about poking fun at the establishment. I am sure yous Northerners have a few Old Fraze's from yore that would be interesting and designed to confuse. Like I said before, I like the Old School Fella's because a deal was made over a beer and spit on the palm with a handshake. Anyone that is true to their word would prefer death to breaking "That Word". It is a thing that is never given lightly and kept to the grave..
When I'm serious I speak plain and will slap you on the shoulder.

LOL Yes, yes. It's safe!!........Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Ok! Away from the Laconic-s and Larrikinism..
Paul,
I had a look about for Scaff' Tube. Dang! Is that stuff gold plated or something?? @ $33.34pm - $200 a 6m length, I guess they can keep it stored up the Back Passage. Something you said in "Class Five Design" about a Piece of Karrie.. I don't suppose a 600mm Length of suitably turned Tassie Oak? Ash would suffice to stiffen the Razors Axles??
Ron
PS; I just thought, Surely if it was capable of Stiffening TP1's Back it would do nicely in a CF Axle, mind you splinters might give him gyp..
AUS230,
Great!! Thanks for making me feel good.... Do you have to get even quite so cruelly???
Ron
Ron.
on aus230 (current yacht) I used commercial tube 50mm x 6mm wall thickness, I have not bent a axle (and I have hit a lot of things)but it is stiff as a board, it is also fairly cheap.
The reason I have changed to scaff tube on the next yacht is that I wanted a bit more flex in the yacht, it may prove to be the wrong move but I can stiffen it up.
Cheers
aus230
Loosen up a little AUS230, don't take my turn of phrase to seriously. My reference was to your and Gizmos remakes on the other page. I know you are serious on the subject. I have no idea why they are so damned well expensive down here so I think 750mm Turned Ash will stiffen the axle nicely and I may have to go over to barrow wheels as I think balancing the Aircraft wheels may be near impossible. I don't know how pilots would fair with badly out of valance tires as they must play merry hell with the Undercarriage.

A simple way to balance complete wheels, is to put two foam coffee cups full of water in the freezer.
You need a smooth piece of shaft that extends out each side of the bearings (and clears the tire) by 75mm or so.
Set up two saw horses (the same height) end to end with the gap to take the wheel.
Now take/break the ice out of the foam cups and sit one on each horse.
Then sit each end of the shaft on the top of an ice block. After a few seconds it will sit there due to the ice melting and the water will have made you a friction free balancer.
Add stick on wheel weights as required till the wheel will "stay" in any position its left.
It is a VERY accurate static balance, as the wheel bearings do not need to even turn. 
That is very clever Chook, I should have thought of it myself.. Ah! what the heck I suppose you can't think of everything.. The only part that won't work is the wheel weights, Rims are too small a dia but using that technique along with removing and adding weight from the tire will do the trick.
Thanks Lads,
Ron
