Da funk is this...

I love it ................ Bin of Sh!t

You'll find the bin of sh!t outside the shed of abandoned dreams....feel free to help yourself.
Just make sure you've had a tetanus jab

Does the shed have a sign above the door saying
"All ye who enter here abandon hope"

Ermm no it's a bit more blunt and to the point

That's better still a few tiny marks to lose...I'll be doing one last big polishing session of all the shiny stuff before the final build.
Fits well and seems to clamp an absolute treat,happy days,!
Next pic is where it came from...

Not quite alchemy... however I guess it's saved around £15 of the budget!
Looking forward to making my own chain tensioner next....itching to start that but need to get wheels on and chainline figured first I guess!

So whilst I'm dosing on caffeine I might just stare at this for a bit and see if there's some mischief to be made

 

[Mickeyspinn]

Mischief has started...

Dangerous mischief I might add...
So if I don't post for a couple of days someone call the meat wagon!

Took about an hour of shuffling tweaking measuring and cursing to get it centred....

3 bolts,3 stud's and 3 hail Mary's latter and it spins true...
This might take a while...

That's the business side nearly done!
That's the back side the bit you don't see
I think my flange is flat..fnnarr ...and my register is good...
But the proof will be in the pudding as they say and I won't be trying the pudding until it's finished...
Tomorrow I'll tweak the side profile of the teeth with just a little taper I reckon...then flip it over and treat the teeth to the same attentions then part it out of the blank and just like that we'll have a custom ring ting thing innit!
Wish it had been a 45 tooth....could of done some cool things ....45 teeth ...5 bolt pcd...instant indexing!
Oh well nevermind maybe next time

 

[Mickeyspinn]

Help!!!Does anyone have a bucket of patience going spare?
My well is a little dry...

Beginning to think this paint job is cursed...

Clumsy moment of dominos in the workshop all in very painful slow mo...
5x chips...
1x small tiny dent


All on top tube

I resisted the instant impulse of launching it into neighbours garden....
I'm now going to finish my chainring to take my mind off it for a while...get some forward progress....make shiny happy things

Feel free to call me a clumsy *!?# .....

Clumsy Tw*t

But it’s all good, that’s how ‘patina’ starts!

I’ve a funny feeling this is going to be good, I’ll just pull up a chair and sit here quietly..
