Truing it up with a grinder would make it run much smoother but wood is pretty weak when it comes to torque transfer along the grain, it's going to disintegrate no matter how many hose clamps you put on it. Pine power is no match for pony power.

@davidblalock9945 4 года назад

As a woodworker, I'm in pain. Seriously in pain. OK, guys, if you want to make a wooden driveshaft that will hold up, take an 3/4 hickory dowel, tightly wrap it with Yellow Birch veneer stripping (preferably an inlay type that's 1/8" thick, and 1/4-1-2" wide), until you have a 3 inch thick shaft. As you are rapping it, Every 180° put in a 1/2 brad in the very center of the veneer strip to hold it in place. Start each wrap 30° off from the previous wrap, and coiling in the opposite direction. Finally, vacuum infuse the shaft with vinyl ester epoxy. The end product should be strong enough to do a burnout, and almost perfectly balanced.

Ash or hickory. Both should be plentiful in Florida and both should have good characteristics for the application. There is a reason most quality tools are handled with hickory and ash. Osage orange should be plentiful there too and I hear it is a good bow material. The springiness and strength might help make it a good driveshaft material.

@Crowdrender 4 года назад

One thing to try that might work, ply board rolled into a tube, two layers maybe at 4mm thickness with the ply at 45 deg to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The layers should have the grains run 90 deg to each other, so one 45 deg the other -45 deg relative to the shaft. Reason for this is the max stress in a torque tube is at 45 degrees (if its straight that is, hopefully McFarland fab will win on this one ;) ) so you need the grains lined up with that, otherwise it will splinter like this one did cause all you have is the bond between fibres which isn't that strong in wood. So pretty much like a carbon fibre torque tube would be. To get sufficient torque transfer without shredding the ply where it meets the ends of the shaft, you'd have to have plenty of length to the joint and use a strong epoxy. Bolts are out since they'll probably rip the ply, they concentrate stress hard core You'd need to steam bend the sheets into a tube. Probably use sheets that give you a larger tube than you need, then cut to size. Kinda like making a jam rolly poly really. Material choice? Well Spruce ply is our bet, they made the DeHavilland Mosquito out of it, that thing really did rip.

Spray foam... But I'd just use wood but soak it in water for a day and dry it out, make it round and smooth and balanced and it'd last a while...edit, I would jam it into the ends with no glue and a little loose then add water, let it expand, dry, and then instead of glue I would make some mounts or a bracket or something else for support and connect it better, glue was stupid because this thing has no balance... Without balance it's not gonna last at all... I'd also research wood types and try to find something that has some flex to it maybe not hardwood but idk.

@apolo2480 4 года назад

Oak wrapped on duct tape it would give much better results, I'm pretty sure of it

@mikewhitman745 2 года назад

Live oak or another wood that has more of a woven grain structure would probably be best, just a guess really. From a wood boat carpentry background.

@rjay5506 Год назад

@@mikewhitman745 that interlocking grain for the win

@graydanerasmussen4071 6 месяцев назад

Yup, oak is more than twice as strong. Also, shaping it on a lathe would give better fit and less runout. Now imagine putting it in a 60s/70s Japanese car with 45/60hp, and it might actually work...

@rjk7104 4 года назад

Order in a stick of Ironwood for the next rip. It's stronger than some types of steel. Also put it on a lathe for at least a cursory balancing.

Try a piece of hardwood like birch. Pressure treated posts are generally softer woods. Have a viewer turn it down on a lathe and ship it to you

@mikes78 4 года назад

Three things. 1. Maybe try a length of wood that had already been rounded in a lathe. That will go s long way to sorting the run out / centering issue and leaving the strength as something to look at. 2. The wood you used looked like it had some large void in it that had filled with sap, this probably isn't going to help much 3..try a denser wood than pine, maybe spruce or oak.
