A Carding Wheel Arbor

I’ve been experimenting with rust bluing for a little while, but haven’t been able to achieve the results that I know are possible. After a decent amount of research I came to the conclusion that I was not removing the loose rust that forms during the bluing process properly, and that is why I was getting inferior results. To remedy the issue I purchased a carding wheel specifically designed for the task.

Upon receiving wheel, I determined i didn’t like the method most people used to mounted the wheel, so I sat down and designed an arbor that would allow me to mount the arbor safely and accurately on my wood lathe. The following video shows the process of making the arbor.
