I hesitate to post a picture right here since this you'r post, and also because I don't have a clue as to how to do it, I'll read up on the distructions and possibly send some to a new post.
You'r machine looks somewhat simular to mine and still different in manyways, but a Grand Lady she is...awsum, good work and keep the progress going, sooner or later one of us will make one that really performs like we dream it should...like Edison said...I have'nt failed 1000 times to make a light bulb...I mearly found 1000 ways on how not to make a light bulb.  Cheers

Greetings, completed fabrication of new hub assembly. The new hub will have 6 Blades. 5 blades just looked a little odd;) cheers

Completed hub and spoke up-grade. I am using the same fabrication techniques as earlier. I am having difficulty drilling the required holes perpendicular to each other on the cylinder if anyone know a good shop method that will allow me to drill perpendicular holes on a cylinder please let me know.

Do not mistake me for a builder. But...

When I need a square hole through a cylinder [crosswise] I lay it in the bottom of a _V_ of material then center it under the bit in the drill press. Seems very good. I keep a jig like this on hand just for this use.
