kevgrn114 Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Ok, here's the wheel all finished. It turned out great! nice and shiny. The green backgraound in the center really sets off the design, and will match the green trim on the boat when its done. I'm keeping it displayed in my living room till its time to go on the boat. Time to get back to the boat now. Quote
Derek Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Was watching your progress on that Kevin. It's a work of art! Outstanding! Quote
Bill Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Nice job Kevin..almost hurts to just use it as a wheel eh? Great design! You should make a few more in a production style, a little glass top, couple of legs, nice end table for the tourists! Help offset costs of the boat... Bill Quote
Frank Hagan Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Wow :!: That's not just a ship's wheel ... that's a work of art! Quote
Pat Mellema Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Kevin that is a great looking wheel. I have been thinking of going with a tiller for Sanddragon. Quote
Sailor3356 Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 My wheel is stainless steel but after seeing yours, wow nice... Quote
Mark Hughes Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Real spiffy! Mind if I use it for inspiration when I design mine? Quote
Mike Pennington Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 You have done a real good job, Kevin. Very inspiring for those of us who don't have a wheel and want to make one. Your wheel will complement your boat, I can't wait to see what else you come up with. Pogy Bait Mike Quote
kevgrn114 Posted March 27, 2003 Author Posted March 27, 2003 I'd be honored if it was an inspiration. Heck I'll even post the templates I used if you want. Quote
capt jake Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 That is one cool looking wheel; I will take you up on the offer for the templates!!!! I would love to build a wheel like that; if nothing else, just to hang on the wal!! Very nice, and I appreciate the offer!! Quote
Barry Pyeatt Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Magnificent job Kevin. I'm sure others would love to try to duplicate it. If you were to publish the templates I think they would really appreciate it. You might also have to give a set of instructions as well. :wink: It is going to be a wonderful addition to your "Yacht"!

P Doug (WA) Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 And I was thinking about posting a picture of the wheel I made! No way! I can't compete with this one. Beautiful! :shock: Quote
ken connors Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 awesome wheel, kevin. great job. you better come up with a pretty schnazzy cockpit for it! Quote
kevgrn114 Posted March 30, 2003 Author Posted March 30, 2003 Here is the link to the wheel templates. I out it in a word document. I threw together a quick description of how it went together. Hope this helps. http://custompaperpocketyachts.k-j-g.com/wheelassembly.doc Quote

Damn Id like to see this!! Oh and word works easy as no worries at all other than for this! :roll: I was going to tell you to RIGHT-CLICK on the filename and then select "Save Target As" to download the file to your computer. Then open it with Word. But when I did that, the resulting file was garbage. Maybe Kevin will see this and repost the link. Quote
Konrad in Lincoln Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Echo all previous posts. BTW, what's the photo/artwork hanging on the wall behind your wheel? Quote
