The cabber came out looking awesome. Love the cabs, too!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

That is a NICE! cabber but I like details. Those look like 4" wheels? Space between wheels? Is this from a HW vendor and you fixed it up or did you do it from scratch? How long is the arbor and did you thread the shaft or was that already done? enquiring minds want to know

Beautiful job. You are a craftsman. I could never take on a project like that.

My only project was to take an 8" cabber that had two wheels and reconfigure it to five wheels. I only needed to buy the spacers and of course the wheels. My machine is a beast and when I downsize, I'll probably get a two wheel arbor and swap wheels through the grinding and sanding steps.
