The moral of the story , keep yer apendages away from spinny things! On the positive side the spinny thing can inflict damage in fractions of a second. Done and over with. It take the brain a bit longer to process what happened. No long drawn out torture, that comes later.
What’s the capacity of the spinny thing in the background?

48" iirc. There is a larger one that does up to 64" diameter.

Geese! And I get all excited when I’m able to turn out a 1/2 inch shaft that looks half way decent.

Looks like a winner to me! Except for the weld on the shaft. Please tell me it is bird poop. Machinists know better than that!

Damn, tough crowd!
Salvage part from scrapped machine. Nice 1” shaft with a flange on it. Unfortunately when they (son in laws work) lost the set screw they welded the key in as not to have it come out. Free, so i cleaned it up and drilled a new hole pattern in the flange turned it little and repurposed it. I‘m all about free. If l had to buy new material for this junk l wouldn’t be doing it!

Oh, I have to bust your chops! I actually figured there was a good reason for it. Waiting to see how it all works out.

I wouldn't have expected anything less! Nothing gets by you guys does it?
I know where all the good scrap bins are, and I have a route... And I have agents that call me when something good shows up!

Looks like there's a couple of slightly oversized washers on the shaft, oversized enough not to need a notch for the keystock. Any concerns about slop or imbalance at high rpm there?

You guys don’t miss a thing!
Those are the spacers that came with the TC. I used them to measure the misalignment of the parts. Then anjusted the spacers accordingly. They are gone now.
I guess l need to clean up the stuff in my pics B4 posting.

Do you have an adjustable wrench with pins set in the jaws? Brilliant!

oh yeah i'm definitely stealing that idea!
i was on the fence about doing something like this, i've got a polaris four wheeler that i want to repower with a clone, the plan would be to try to use the OEM drive pulley which has a very long strange taper shaft i would have to turn. I was wondering how it would handle an overhung load, or if the shaft would loosen up.
I didn't see you mention it, was there a fit clearance you were shooting for on the shaft?

Resorting to theft is not necessary, the idea is free for the taking. But if you would like to pay a royalty, I can make arrangements....
I tried for and hit a .0005 inch interference fit on the shaft. The overhanging load has not been a problem on other shafts I have done this to. It helps to have a fairly straight shaft that the set screws can bite into. If in doubt put some #262 (red) hot sauce on the shaft and let it set up then apply blue hot sauce to the set screws. (I can already hear the screams) Be sure you don't want take the shaft off for any reason if you used red hot sauce, It is semi permanent. Contrary to popular belief it can be removed but it takes a lot of heat.

And it makes purple hot sauce when mixed together!

That's an awesome hack! Everyone with a few decades on them has a collection of various disposable-type old tools.Yes, adjustable spanner.
Question: What kind of things require the 2 pins to function? 4.5" angle grinder is the only thing of mine that has that.

There are 5 different grinders and they all require a different spanner. A couple of different other uses and l forgot what l originally made it for, it’s been around for 20 years or so.
Willie maybe you could host a webinar on sticking the hand in the spinny thing?
we could all use some pointers.
