>Patrick- you say that you can lathe up a great set of pullies at a down to
earth price, but I've dealt with aluminum and it's very soft. Do you heat
treat these pieces to make them stronger or are they an alloy impregnated
piece? I think that stainless steel would be the strongest metal to work
with and you could machine it a little thinner without it being brittle and
give it a lighter weight. Not only that, but when stainless is polished up,
it's the most beautiful of all the metals and it DOESN'T RUST or turn other
funky colors--
