Picked up a few molds, had to build a quick press to replace all of the f type clamps. Still needs paint and some metal added to cover the recycled metal limitations

I have to find a wheel currently the nut is tack welded and using a socket wrench. awaiting a cast iron wheel or pulley gotta get to the scrap yard.

I may build a hand wheel with rebar spokes and rim welded to the nut until I find the right hand wheel. I can make different diameters to find what I want to use.

or use a wheel/hard rubber tire from a cart, hand truck, etc. with jam nuts.
edit: you could repurpose something like that but I just checked and wheels are stupid expensive even without bearings.
