Penny Farthing Bicycle

Powder Keg:
Well I stuck with it today. I now have 76 threaded nipples\o/ I thought I had made five or six extra but the shop gnomes seem to have hid them:o( That and the 4 that got cross-threaded, I'm 4 short. I'll get a short piece of bronze on the way. In the mean time I'm going to start on a jig that will hold 4-5 at a time to mill the wrench flats on them.

I want flats on them so they can be adjusted in the future. Spokes stretch with use and need to be tightened up once in a while.

Wes,
I watching your progress too.  Looking good

Powder Keg:
I set up the CNC mill at work to machine little hex's onto all those nipples. I'm glad these are nearly done:o)



Everything is good here. I've been working on the house and our camper quite a bit. I need to get this project done and on the road though. It's time:o)

Good to see you are back working on the Penny Farthing.

I'm looking forward to seeing a picture of you riding it before the end of the year!
