I fabricate the bull wheel, bearing support, and crankshaft for my Gingery shaper. I cast the bearing support and then bored it for the crank shaft bearings. Achieving the press fit tolerance was very rewarding. Big thanks to Cadre Patron, Bob Teeter, since he is the one who recommended I add a dial. Having it makes boring and turning less guesswork and more repeatable.
The sprocket is an off the shelf 40 tooth sprocket. I bored it out to fit the larger diameter of the crankshaft. I also opened up a shaft collar to fit the crankshaft. Next up is the yoke.
You may also notice I am in a new shop. Part of the home maker project in the works.
