la bala Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) I have found an ironmonger that stocked the rollers in my town, but that was in 1887 . Now i could get some 3mm plate rolled, but would they look right. Keep those ideas coming. Edited July 24, 2017 by la bala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: The track is "Jump" from the 1976 album "Live" [ from the album "(Live)" (1976) ] DEREK: (plays piano and sings:) #As I was walking down the street one day I saw a house on fire There was man, shouting and screaming at an upper-storey window To the crowd that was gathered there below For he was sore afraid #Jump! You ******, jump! Jump into this here blanket what we are holding And you will be all right He jumped, hit the deck, broke his ******* neck - There was no blanket #Laugh?! We nearly ****! We had not laughed so much since Grandma died Or Auntie Mabel caught her left tit in the mangle We are miserable sinners Fi-i-ilthy ******* #Ahhhrrrr-soles Edited July 24, 2017 by Danger-Mouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bala Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 what wouĺd the lenght i have a good lathe but would depend on lenght. The rollers are twenty and a half inch in old money. I may have an easy get out, someone has told me of a company close by that stocks round fence posts. I will take a look tomorrow and if they have been turned it may be a cheap get out. The rollers havnt got to function, they will be purely cosmetic. I am not to bothered what timber they are, I am 74, if i make them from balsa they will probably see me out . Joking aside, i am renovating it as it was my mothers and my eldest daughter wants it. Thanks for the offer johnphilip and thank you boys for your input. Will put some pics up tomorrow.

johnphilip Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Good luck .looking forward to the pictures.i rent a cottage on a farm. And never though of fence post. Think they use the bigger ones on corners and stuff .lots of farmers also get the old electric and telephone poles free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bala Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Got me self a fence post this morning, as it was a 5 inch diameter one it was 9 foot long, not to worry i can make lots of mistakes in the measuring and cutting And before you lot tell me it has splits in it, as i have said before, i no longer buy green bananas . Lets get on, I cut 2 rollers the length i wanted. The original rollers had the shafts right through. I have cut these shafts and am using the ends. My plan is to make some 5 inch discs out of 3mm plate, screw them to the rollers and then weld the ends of the shafts to the plates, well thats the plan.
