    Mumbles, thanks for the interesting tip on "off-setting" an object
    in a three jaw vise!
    The water pump lobe and gear are cast in one, so I’m not sure
    if that oil soaked bronze lobe could be built up with braze
    without destroying the gear? To tell the truth, I’ve brazed lots
    of iron pieced over the years, but never brazed any bronze
    pieces, so not sure what to expect.
    I ordered a hardened bolt to try to make a prop shaft, as all
    I have to do is drill three holes in it. No steps or keyways
    need machined.

    Prepare to be boarded!
