Hobbing a Pulley for driving accessories for Model Steam Engines or Toy Steam Engines
This worked out really well for a first attempt, I've been wanting to try this for ages to stop belt slippage on pulleys and drive wheels when running accessories off steam engines under load which can very often be a problem as some engines lack the power to be able to put a lot of tension on a small round drive belt.
It’s a great hobby and pastime working on your metal lathe or metal milling machine making parts for model engines and model or toy steam engines.
