Greetings All

 Remember this is a string of help of how to build, not what to build.

 So if you have questions on how to build, and what resources you are looking for, just ask. You will always have a better chance with a solid balanced base than a floppy one. Excess and unwanted movement is a lot of extra friction and it will work against you in this quest.

Have a great build

Greetings All

Here are some pictures of my quick change axles and stand for wheel work and test. I leave the mounts on each wheel I am working with, so I can change wheels at will. Now if a runner? I can show switching from stand to stand.

I use 2 flange bearings for each piece of pipe (2 cut pieces of pipe) and I use lock nuts to allow them not to be to tight. I also spray WD-40 into the bearings to loosen them up.

Note that I use angel iron for to set the mounts in.
