Had an interesting afternoon at the workshop today, making handlebars for Twisted's trike with Craig & Ryan. A big ol' pair of beach bars. Nice work Craig.  |

cheers boys and cheers andy. no way i could have done it with out ya . now i just need to get the file out and start filing down the welds , think that might take a bit of time  ha ha. was a very interesting and informative day spent at the workshop. ryan loved pop to, reccons it might take off with the lump you have put in it  . didnt see you snap the sneaking pics andy! cheers. also earlier in the week i received a very nice box of goodies in the post. the rather splendid gentleman that is one arm bandit kindly made me a new carb adaptor pipe so i can fit the new bigger tank  . i think its a cracking job, just waiting to get some spacer blocks to fit it. cheers oab.  my new trike project  my new trike project  my new trike project |

nabism, its a hand tool thing ha ha. unfortunately no, i do not own a grinder or flap wheel but a fella at work has a grinder he will lend me so then i will buy said wheel to fit and let the fun begin. old newbie, yes it is a clean work bench but thats the problem! its a "work" work bench not a "home" work bench  i have no such room at my home to work. will be grinding in the garden under the security light over the next few days i think. |

Hope you've got a vice in your garden or at least a B&D workmate otherwise be carefull with that grinder No honestly holding onto something the shape of those bars and an angle grinder at the same time is a no-no. |

i gave up waiting on the guy at work, so went out at lunchtime and bought a grinder . they were all out of flap disks though . so will get one off ebay and have to sit and wait for it to come. dont worry, i have goggles from work and a vice that belonged to my grandad (who was an engineer) that my nan gave me before she passed on. now i get to put it to some good use . and my foot when i cant use the vice |
