Bush Bugger

Zadvorney, Thank you for your reply I will see how I go may be one might turn up in the future and as you have said a 5 studded wheel rim would be a lot stronger than 4 studded wheel rim. .. The other thought I have had is if I cant get a 5 studded wheel rim is to may be fabricate a plate with a five studded hole pattern drilled in it at the correct PCD for the square axle hub (still yet to be purchased) and then weld this on to cover over the 4 stud pattern wheel rim I have at present and go on from there . Thank you also for the offer to ask questions about your build I will take you up on that when I get some time to keep going with the fabricating the parts in the future . many thanks Bush Bugger

Great work Zadvorney, The finished hammer looks great and you have done a really great job .It must of been an effort to weld up all the steel plates for your anvil .I have purchased the plans from clay some years back now and have been doing bits for it every now and then I have to get back into now seeing yours. I have one question if I may I am having a lot of trouble getting a 5 stud space saver Tyre as the plans state .They seem to be like rocking horse poop here in Aus ,I have been trying to get one for a very long time . I have managed to get a four stud Tyre and rim in great condition which is the correct Tyre size and width on the plans I am wondering do you think it would be able to be used only being a four studded rim and not five thank you for your time and thank you for your effort in explaining the fabrication of the parts great videos ' well done Bush Bugger North QLd Australia
