my new frame coming along at breakneck speed

 if you think that is the first of a series of pics, WRONG that is how far i have got,
 maybe breakneck speed was not right, a slight shuffle maybe...

the pic below shows a grit type disc which is fantastic at removing mill scale but is very gentle on clean steel, the reflection from the 12mm thick steel plate was archieved in just 1 minute, mind you go anywhere near a burr, or sharp edge and the pads quickly wears away.

Nice to see you back Wynne.
Ooh, a posh headstock alignment thingy doofah. We use the more traditional broom handle, blocks of wood, old paint tins & gaffer tape method here.

Bruce who built my trike relies heavily on bits of angle iron to design the back end.......  Useful stuff cos you can tack it together, decide it's all wrong, knock it apart and do it again!

Yep, those who think Gertie looks good, it's all down to angle iron!
