I need some information on making a flywheel with curved spokes, I have the information on laying out a flywheel with straight ones. Is there any information on layout with a DRO for a curved spoke???.
 
Does this help?

Many moons ago I think Steve (Cedge) did a writeup about how he did his. I think it was an offshoot of his water engine.

So search for his name, Cedge, on the main home page and go thru all his topics. I think it came after the site swapover, so it should still be there.

Fifteen minutes spent searching can save you hours of frustration when you come to do the job.

You're welcome, but Philip Duclos did all the heavy lifting in the Book from Village Press, titled "The Shop wisdom of Philip Duclos". One of the best $45.00 I've ever spent. Once I mastered his basic intructions, making different curves and more spokes were no big trick.

Steve
