I know that feeling all too well. :beer: Happens to me more often than not. But you bike is turning out pretty nice. Much nicer than I could produce. :thumbup: Eric |

I made a arbor to thread the nut onto while I turn the top of the nut. The nut was shaped mainly with files like the top of the steering head. Then I milled flats in it. I did 8 to make it look different. I'll be making the tension bolt next. and maybe some really fancy stuff for the lug that the handlebars thread into. We'll have to see how I feel. And if I can work it out in my head. ~Wes~ |

Thanks for the compliments! Still coming up with Ideas. Which in this case is a good thing:o) I didn't really like my design for the rear forks. I think I can make most of the parts on my whirl-er. I think I have a neat idea for the rear forks. I have a couple sketches. I'll draw it up and get some dimensions and start making chips:o) Stay tuned...... |
