  • Nice work. Similarly, I reconstructed a '70s minibike from a bent frame I bought at a swap-meet in the late '90s. The front fork was bent backwards at a 15 degree angle from normal, making driving it a real fun experience, and yet I used it as a pit-bike at drag races for 10 years. It's been buried in the back of my garage since I quit racing, and my wife forbade me to use it around here, because it's probably not wise to get more injuries at my age. It was known as the "Death Machine" by my racing teammates, who never dared ride it, because it was as unstable/unpredictable as I was! It was pretty fast, about 25 mph, and I regularly repaired the friction brake; it was a handful to ride, and a bear to stop. Much like my Chevelle, over 125 mph.

    my minibike looks similar, but slightly bent & mangled (like me); your scooter looks nicer

Built this portable fire pit from one of those big porch models, a salvaged road sign, and a cheap wok.

some years back I had a guy wont a fairly big Wood lathe for some pretty big pieces had had to do
around 8 meter long each about 26 ft
so this I what I made him 12 Meters long about 40 ft it did the trick and a lathe you don't see every day

he now uses it as 2 lathes with a bolt on head stock in the middle somewhere and of cause an extra tail stock

I made this metal shear for cutting plate metal. It's a basic Harbor Freight, Princess Auto, etc. shear with a trailer tongue jack that is driven by an impact gun. It's fast & accurate!

Nifty - but some folks are quite allergic to tropical hardwoods, especially rosewoods, cocobolo in particular, and ebonies. Btw, as a bowyer, you might have made bows from yew wood. It's a fine wood for a bow and other objects, but every part of the yew tree is permanently cardiotoxic with the exception of the flesh (only) of the red berries. Some months ago, a sow bear and her cubs were found dead in Pennsylvania after eating from yew bushes.

1.00 Plier rack. This is a small shower caddy from the dollar store. I used a pair of wire snips and made a quick plier/wrench rack. Pic shows caddy on the right and rack on the left.

This one won't have the chance to make anyone sick. My aunt just uses it as a decorative piece she hung on the wall with some of her other decorative pieces that were used in cake making. It's only function is a conversation piece and decoration. You are right you have to be careful with the different woods. I am working with Cocobolo right now on a bow and can't wait to have it finished. Beautiful wood but not a fan of working with it because of how toxic that wood can be. Luckily it hasn't bothered me yet but I try not to use it much as I know that can change at anytime with it.

I retired from the maintenance department of a local cabinet making factory, and I recall one instance where someone wanted a custom kitchen made of some type of Brazilian hardwood. It was quite dark, but still a good looking wood. Everybody in the mill that was handling it was told that if they get a splinter, they were to stop what they were doing immediately, and get the splinter out. If they didn't, the toxins were enough to make the whole hand swell up by the end of their work shift. I couldn't see the sense of putting your dining hardware on something that toxic, even if it is supposed to be sealed from the elements.

But then, I'm just a grumpy, old, opinionated biped.
