That's it!
After tirelessly looking for a place where I can buy a penny farthing and all my results proven futile, I have decided I am going to try my hand at making one.
Now, creating the frame should be pretty straight forward given I create a decent design, however, my main problem lies in the fabrication of a front wheel. For a tyre I'm just going to use solid rubber to go around it so that's no problem but making the wheel itself will be.
This is where you, the burner's, come in.
If any of you have any sort of idea of how I can make such a large front wheel or if you have, for some reason, made one yourself, I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me.
Thanks in advance,
Pete.
EDIT: Or if you happen to know where I can buy one for a reasonable price.........
