Interesting, I can see them just fine. Is there a size limit on embedded photos?

Nice. Did you drill all those holes by hand? When I built mine I had my neighbor with a small cnc machine drill the plates for me. Saved me a lot of time. Good job on the accomplishment. It’s a much larger project than people realize…

Nicely done! I'm guessing mag wheels for raw stock? John

The plates (I have the full set plus a spare plate) are Brown and Sharp from a head the local machine shop broke, best $50 I spent, and they just happened to have 1 1/8" bore too...

It's all about the process. Learning to cast and machine. Adapting. Awesome. John

Yep mag wheels for stock, PITA to break up but casts nicely and machines ok (I'd need an oven to heat treat for better machining properties).
