Looking very nice,the shocks have turned out very well.
Indeed they are Mark, I also like that mesh on the air feeds.Looking very nice,the shocks have turned out very well.
My old man was an aircraft engineer, hence the safety wire, i used it for the shock springs never thought about using it for the spokes, but i will the next timeJust had a look in on this little project........very impressive build so far Simon. I couldn't help noticing that spool of stainless "safety" wire that you used to spoke your wheels. I Can't begin to count up how many of those I used up in my years as an Aircraft Mechanic. And you are right it is pretty stiff to work with. I'm looking forward to where this build goes next.
Thanks for the info i will keep an eye open for oneLooking good Simon. Great work on the tank and swingarm.
Razor saws….I would go with X-acto every time. They work well with non ferrous metal (brass, nickel silver or copper). I would go with the finer ones (the more teeth per inch the finer they are) as they will be able to cut smaller stock. The rule is that the distance between teeth must be less than the thickness you are cutting or the saw will bind.
If you want to cut steel you will need something else though, steel will quickly blunt a razor saw. If you are only going to cut steel bar a junior hacksaw with fine blades will do the job, but for anything else I would recommend a jewellers piercing saw and a set of assorted blades.
Oh Yum! I would buy that from you if it were for sale! Shaping up gorgeously!
