Well done you!  Have been watching progress with interest, you've done great! Looking forward to seeing powder coating.
 
Doing nothing of great interest myself.  Neglected my old Hayter last autumn and it's let me know it ever since I got it out in Spring!  Have the Allen Scythe to tart up this winter, mechanically sound.  Fellas having a chuckle at a little thing like me move it around! Huh! lol
 
Will be watching powder coating with great interest!  Thank you!

Just set this up as I have to check my new Blades for my Deck project. Imagine the Se-Saw principle or a pair of scales.
Hopefully the pics will explain the principle for you.
The idea is to set it up on a very flat surface with a straight Bar to fit snugly through the Blade Centre bore and to roll without friction resistance either way (left or right).
Out of Balance-

 
And well balanced-

 
Surprised even these new genuine OEM Blades are out of balance. Idea is to carefully remove metal from the heavier side until perfectly balanced.
Then just ensure they're fitted centrally on the Spindles and torque the retaining nuts or bolts to what ever the manufacturer specifies.
Any probs, just ask.

Jolly good
 

Think you gents have it!  Saw the seat and looked for the rest!
