Wheel true stand
The other day Rudedog and I were talking about a wheel stand used to true up laced wheels. I found me a narrowglide 21 inch front wheel on Ebay to put on my Dyna instead of the nineteen inch 13 spoke cast wheel.
I built another stand and put the dial indicator on it to true up the wheel.
Here it is Rudedog.......maybe nobody cares but I'm going to post it anyway.
Shot with a Nikon 10.5mm Fisheye lens, so it's a bit distorted. I was only 8 inches away from the wheel, so that increases the distortion with an ultra wide angle.......pg

Nice work. And, oh yeah, I like the man room. Looks like you got some good projects going on. My dream is a heated and cooled 3000 square foot garage with a bedroom and toilet attached. Damn wife wanted a living room, kitchen, and dining room so I had to comprimise.

Good picture PG, that's just what I was looking for. How do you check for roundness?
I got my stand done but no gage to attach yet. I'll get a picture of it tomorrow, it's in the 30's and I'm in my pajamas so i won't be going out side just yet.
Thanks again, you've been a great help.
