Penny Farthing Bicycle

<< < (49/65) > >>

Powder Keg:
I just finished the front fork ends for my Penny Farthing. I think I'll start finishing up the parts for the front wheel. I need to cut a few keyways and do some final fitting. I want to make sure everything is done before I start lacing the wheel. It would suck to have to take it apart to finish something I missed. No pictures. They are nearly the same as the back fork ends.

The suspense is killing me.

I check this thread more than the news.

Powder Keg:
I'll try and update more\o/

The last thing before I weld up the top of the steering hed is to cut a champher so I can lay in a good weld. luckily I had a big counter sink:o)



The V will be filled in with weld.



I have a couple more little pieces that need made. Then I can check out a couple things  that I'm not quite sure on. Then I will be able to braze the forks together.

MadNick:
Good progress Wes,

And fine workmanship too - when do you intend to have the bike completed for?

pepethefat:
Wes, it's official.  You've inspired me. Also that Finnish fellow who built one too has inspired me. I just got myself a lathe and mill a few months ago and my Penny will be my first *real* project beyond a few little practice things.  Hence the questions I've had now and then while I lurk on your thread!
