Default OT: Worlds most Expensive Hose Reel....:D
I recently took some time off and took a road trip with the family - but we got flooded out - so I spent some time at home doin' stuff...

After my first effort - a buddy of mine I forwarded the photo to - sent me a wheel to make a hose reel for the back

My 2 1/2 year old - always loves helping Dad in the garage and today was no exception.

Yes it is a 23" !! BLING BLING!!

Simon.

AOW,

Proprietary single hubless modular CAD bracket made from unobtanium.

Or as it is commonly known - the humble Dyna Bolt.

Simon, one word - spinners! You need a spinner on that wheel to make it really bling!

BTW, I was throwing out your envelope two days ago... lo and behold, somethings falls out of it that I haven't noticed. I now have a very cool new sticker. Thanks, mate! Andreas, you're not unique any more!!

Mike,

I drilled some holes in the lip at 8,4and 6 o'clock - so that you couldnt see them and to give the appearance of a floating wheel.
