What do design engineers do in their spare time?-(Besides Hotrods)
They build other mechanical gadgets!!! I wanted a little project for my new lathe, and something to amuse my grand daughter. I have a small spring fed stream in my back yard, and I have always been interested in waterwheels, so---I found a bronze bushing, an aluminum plate, and a 3/4" stainless steel bolt in my junk bin. I bought 10 foot of 1/4" aluminum round rod, and went to the dollar store and bought 8 cheap stainless steel soup ladles. Voila!!!--A waterwheel is born. It turns slowly, because the stream is running on a very gentle slope, but it does run consistently.---BrianOld guy hot rodder

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
