Looking great. Some awesome workmanship and I am learning a few things. Keep it up. Soon you will be as happy as this fellow and his penny farthing.

Yours should be a bit easier to operate though.

Powder Keg:
I've been monkeying around with a jig to bend a set of mustache bars for my bike. I'm going to try and bend them tomorrow morning. I'll take a couple pictures.

Powder Keg:
Well, My jig worked better that I thought it would\o/ I'm pretty excited that they turned out great!!!

Here is the jig that I made. I bent the first part of the bars at about 45 degrees. Then clamped it in the jig.

It's pretty hard to take pictures of hot stuff when you are by yourself.

I made a cheater bar that worked perfect! You can just see it here. It slid over the threaded handlebar and protected the threads.

I drew some lines on the jig to bend everything to. I even got pretty close to it\o/ This was a tough bend. I missed my measurements just a tad on the first bend and this one ended up short. I had to kind of stretch the metal a little behind the pin I was bending around. I did this by focusing the heat behind the pin.

Here is one half cooling off.

A set of mustache bars. Oh Yeah!!! Now were cooking:o)

I hope you enjoyed the show today:o)
