Powder Keg:
Never heard of it. That is a nice bag though, but It is a little big I think. It will need to fit inside the spring. About 3.5 inches in diameter should be about right. But I need to have a bike to put it on first:o)

Powder Keg:
I am working on the seat a little now. I notched the end of the tube. Just a couple cuts to let the metal move into place.

I then used a small Ball pien hammer and gently massaged the metal over a pin. It doesn't take much. I think a bunch of small taps are better than a few big ones.

I then welded it all up.

I'll smooth it up with a grinder and then I need to make the mount piece that will get welded into the middle. I wish my mill was working:o(

Powder Keg:
I got the brass cut off and the welds on my cantle all cleaned up. I'll try and get the center part of the cantle cut out at lunch time at work tomorrow. I can weld it on and the cantle will be about done. Then A bolt and I'll be a few steps closer\o/

Thanks for watching,

Divided he ad:
I'm intrigued about the fixing of this ass'y to the frame and also the saddle to the "cantle" (never heard that one before!)

This is a very informative thread :thumbup:

What's up with your mill Wes? :(

Ralph.

Powder Keg:
Here is what the seat will look like on the bike Ralph.

On the mill. I added a 6" extension to it when I got it. Now you have to lift the table higher. Sometimes I would raise it a little too high and it would travel up off the nut. This damaged the nut a little. To fix it I'm getting a new nut and a longer threaded rod that lifts the table.
