What a funky feline.  Flap & I trundled over to Steve's workshop this afternoon & spent several hours making a complete arse of building a framework for my Jag sofa. Just one of those days when it all goes horribly wrong. Managed to cobble together the basics by the end of the day so need to go back now & add some bracing, smooth out the horrendously ugly welds -oh, & make up the legs. Will use adjustable feet -the chances of us making 4 legs all the same length are pretty slim! |

No, but fortunately we have adjustable feet.

I am resisting the temptation to make a smutty remark...

The last trike you'll ever build? I've said that a thousand times myself, so my reply to that silly remark is "bo****ks". It's in yer blood, Manky!

Ah, such a command of the English language! An incurable ailment huh? A terminal tinkerer? Doomed to spend my life covered in angle grinder dust & welder burns? Spent the last 27 years like that, so you're probably right.  |

 Was cursed from an early age. Can't even blame my parents for leading me astray cos mine were dead set against me ever getting a bike. Mind you they were probably right. Been skint ever since & still got nothing to show for all the long hours I've spent toiling away in lockups. Off to do a bit more in a minute. Only a couple of hours worth today though. Rainbow & I are going to Bournemouth BIC tonight to see BB King & Gary Moore so got to get home & washed & scrubbed up by tea time.

The guy's 80 now, so thought I should go see him while I still can. Bought the tickets months ago. Typically, it falls on the night before I go back to work after a week off. Won't be home till gone midnight. Up again at 3.30 to go to work. Gonna be a weary Monkey tomorrow. |

Mr King was truly fabulous. Well worth waiting for. At least now I can say I saw him play live. One of the greats.
Cut & tacked the seat rails in position tonight, then added a brace between the front down tubes the same as we did on Critch's frame.

Your frames seem to be getting simpler all the time.

So am I. Not sure if that's a compliment or not?! Still got to add the uprights either side of the gearbox but just got hold of a pre-engaged starter gearbox, which is a slightly different shape from the earlier ones, so need to play with it & see if it'll fit the frame. Then I need to knock up the luggage rack/seat tubing. Filing & smoothing everything as I go so it's taking longer than usual. Mine'll be the prettiest!  |
