Yup. 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:

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.

It has taken me some time to catch up with all that is being bone on this Forum. I wish I had started here with this thread. This absolutely awesome.

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......
