My garage right now: three utility trailers, a bike chariot, a coffin cargo bike and 15 bikes depending on the day.
Picture
Boring out the bronze bushing to fit over the center post.

The bronze bushing sleeved over the center post.

Picture
Machined end cap that the tapered roller bearing sits on.

Picture
Welded onto the top of the center post.

Very jankily truing up the ends of the spreader tubes. The lathe is maxed out at 37.5" and I had to use a boring bar to reach the end of the workpiece.

Picture
The lower hub assembly tack-welded to the spreader tubes. I had to be really careful to make sure the heat of welding didn't distort anything and cause a bearing to bind.

Picture
The upper hub assembly, upside down on my welding table, being tacked onto the spreader tubes. The main bearing sits inside that square piece of plate that's just under the end of the center post.

Picture
Finished lower hub assembly with arms attached.
