Assembled lots of the frame today, thanks to my brother’s help. We also were able to find some wheels 40% off. I think adding these to the project is a good idea considering how heavy this thing is going to be when finished. The frame dimensions are approximately 5 foot long, 3 foot wide. 



The next step will be to get the flywheel spinning on its axle, but will save for another day.
