Well, Stan, that is you.

For me, I would prefer to scrounge around for days for the materials in
which to build many axles/wheels. That way, I can have more rather than
just blowing in, plopping down my wallet and saying: take what you want as
my time is valuable.

Sort of reminds me of the old saw that says that if you have to ask how much
fuel it burns, you can't afford it. In reality, if you are the type who
doesn't question expenses and just throws money at everything, you will
never be able to afford the item that burns the fuel.

k.o.

I just rebuilt a welding tank cart for the b-in-l, we used 5/8"
shafting from TSC along with some 12" pneumatic bearing-in-hub wheels
from the same source. Cost was about $25-26 for wheels, shafting and
the shaft collars we used for retainers. I welded the shafting to the
cart, cut it to length and put the shaft collars and wheels on, took a
morning's work. So I guess the question is, what do you consider
cheap? My time is worth more to me than scrounging around for days
looking for just the right combination of junk and scrap to do a job.
