Present and accounted for......

I have built a number of actions that were really close to a continuous movement, but the timing was just a little off....  I now have finally been able to discern a couple of the higher numbers of the MT that shows how to clearly control my timing like never before

The 6 ft long graphite tubes are stiff enough to do the actions required.  I tried a number of different materials but the materials were either to heavy or too flexible  then, the length of graphite tubes available that I had purchased in the past were just not available anymore, so I had to build up some shorter tubes with a solid rod to extend them.  Just for fun,  I used a 1/2 inch Titanium shaft to fabricate some the the ferrels but they were just fanciful.  Was able to attach the fourth weight up today so making great progress on finally getting the final pieces in place.  Pretty exotic materials on this wheel now and its just a lot of fun

July is an important month to me as my birthday and one of my close relatives birthday is in July as well.

No running wheel as of this date, but I am more confident that ever before,  So for now the search still goes on.....
