Powder Keg:
I got a good start on the piece that will be the crown of the back forks. This piece will be cut in half and be cleaned up on the mill. There will be pockets that the tubes will fit into to help locate and stabilize them. I'll first finish cleaning the piece up with files and emery paper.



Later,

Cheers for the pic's Wes  :thumbup:

 :worthless:  Well.... it would be!


I get it now. Usually takes a while  :)

Powder Keg:
I got the crown piece turned.



I roughed the ends with a radius tool then filed and scraped it to shape. Checking it with a radius gauge along the way.



After it was too my liking I cut it in half :Doh:



This is what I was after. I'll set it up in the mill and touch up my angles then mill a couple pockets to hold the fork tubes.



Getting closer\o/

I love how all the component shapes and curves seem so natural, correct. 


You've got a really good eye, Wes!   :thumbup:
