this is my e-wheel made with two old bearings and square tubes from scrapyard.
I hope it gives you guy another idea for a budget english wheel!

Those bearings look huge what did they come out of?

Cool! It's gratifying to see a fully functional English wheel constructed from a pair of old bearings and tubing.

Sorry for taking too long to answer your question. The big one is from a big electric motor. I've been using this wheel for five years and it never wears.
