@paullubliner It was built by Paul Huntington, all of it is good old-fashioned hand machining. Everything is made from scratch except for the drivers (bought as rough castings that required finish machining and assembling on the axles) and the pressure gauge. I believe it took him about a year and a half to build it.
@paullubliner Glad to hear that. If he'd have done the drivers from scratch, there'd have been no compromises at all! Even down to spoke cross section, my personal pet peeve.
How long did it take you to build? Any hand machining or all CNC?
