Harnesses, Buckboards and Wagon Wheels.

[DUKE DEADEYE NUKEM]

This is my long term goal to make harnesses, wagons, wheels (and dog sleds......... again)
Any constructive comments would be appreciated.
My shop is close to done except for the Powermatic Mortiser and the hub boring machine I will need to have made. Blake Stevenson just went to pick up his new welder so I hope to trade him out in wagon boxes and what not for labor.

Any of you guys have a lathe big enough to make this indexing wheel?







720HD Heavy Duty Mortiser  
Stock Number: 1791309


This Heavy-Duty Mortiser features cast iron construction and a powerful 1-1/2HP motor. Heavy rack and pinion gear system utilizes a spring loaded adjustable position handle for travel, and a unique gas-filled shock to allow for smooth movement. A large 14-5/8" x 7-1/8" table gives plenty of work support and will adjust to any angle from 0 to 90°. The lower stop can support a door on edge.
