Well the cart got a little ahead on this one.
I designed this up in Solid Works and had it laser cut in MDF. I 3D printed a couple of shaft clamps to hold a piece of heavy wall copper drinking pipe.
after the glue dried i coated the surfaces to be exposed with spar urethane.
i was able to print out the tie layout in two pieces and tape together.
the sides were also cut out of 1/16 MDF, and were glued up and coated with the same urethane.
Here is the completed frame. the outriggers for the rollers, and the rollers themselves were 3d printed , and fitted with ball bearings.
the finished bridge for now. it will be waiting a while for the pit to be installed.
I will note it is a little longer than the real Ridgeway turntable so it will just fit a Bach man K-27 @53’
