my dad collects old hit and miss engines and most of the engines he get's need part's made for them. he fabricates most of the part's he needs, one example is the crank guard for a 4 1/2 h.p. massey hassis that he has. he has two of these engines and one of them needed a crank guard so he copied the one he had. here is is the original guard and here is the one he made it is fabd. out of strips of 1/4" flat bar. the guard is curved in two directions, horizontally and vertically. this last pic shows the back side of the guard's. the original is on the left i'm constantly amazed at what my dad makes out of steel, he was a cabinet maker for 30 plus years so i guess that help's. chuck :wave: |

Now thats some nice fabrication, You cant tell the casting from the forging. |

Chuck Some place along the line I think that he must have been a blacksmith as well. If you can make that out of flat bar then you are definitely more than a carpenter. I'll bet your dad could do just about anything that he wanted to do and do it well. Treasure those photo's and memories Chuck. :clap: :clap: Cheers :beer: Don |
