Hi there Jeff,
You're talking to the man, who aged 15 made a set of 8 wheels for a coach
from square bar as that worked out cheapest, even though it took the
longest machining them all round: something like 33p per wheel in 1991.
Don't you worry Jeff - I'd be fabricating waaaaaay long before it got near
312 pounds for a set of 4 wheels!!! (Smiles).
All the best,
Rich.
