    I've made one other engine cowl for my plane with the
    wheel. It was for a 14 inch diameter spinner. I
    thought it was a bit heavy, it was made from .063
    6061. Then I figured that I'd need a 16 inch spinner.
    So, I made another station buck and will use .050 6061
    for this cowl. The first cowl was made on a wheel
    owned by a guy down about 50 miles south of me. I just
    bought an english wheel at Harbor Freight, it works
    pretty well, but needs bit of finish work on the
    anvils.

    When I get done with this cowl, I'll consider making
    more cowls if I think this one is up to snuff.

Thanks Brian.  I've been tempted by the HF wheel.  I'll be interested in
what you think of it after getting the cowl done.


Regards,

Matt-

Hi Brian,

glad the planes coming along. I think many of us harbour dreams of becoming
masters of the english wheel. If Paul doesn't mind, we would appreciate a
stream of progress pics of you making your polished Alloy cowling.

Fine with me.
