Hey this sounds good! I only searched for the list but can¹t find it. I read Dutch so that would not be a problem.Could you give me a more precise location?
I already thought about getting a rod and turning a thread on it. That is not too difficult but ehm, I thought of it being too amateur ;-) Douwe From: Roy Trotter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:31:15 -0500 To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [HG] Where Hardware Where!?!? Good luck having it made. Everyone I've spoken to puts it together from pieces mostly gather from a hardware store. There's a placle locally called "Fort Worth Bolt and Tool that sells . Cold steel rod, ball bearings and stop collars. ( You can get a pretty clear Idea from the "Dutch Supplement" PDF on www.hurdygurdy.com.) I used a rod of allthread for my first and the usual nuts and washers: there is some shaping on the head end that probably wouldnt be tried without a metal lathe. As the rod comes in 1 yard ( a little shorter than a meter ) lentghts, I made up a half dozen blanks. That lathe is not inaccesible and I don''t know what I'm going to do next time.... Good luck either way.
