    Cold Bluing Parts

    I have never tried it before so I thought I would give it a try. I had seen how awfully rusty the mild steel stand-off bosses I made for Paul's SA drum hubs had become after just a few months. I made some "QR" sleeves for second hand SA drum hubs I bought off e-Bay and these too are just mild...

    Arriving Soon.

    I couldn't help myself (too much money and not enough brains probably). I have allowed the Department For Work & Pensions to buy me the item below with last months Govt pension money. It should be arriving on Monday. A step up on the Chinesium Mini Lathe; British made and >45 years old. So it...

    That was nice!

    A cheeky 2 & one-half day escape from the enemy was enjoyed by yours truly in the company of Stormbird of this parish. Just a stretch of the legs and a test of the batteries you understand. We stayed at a National Trust site (Houghton Mill/Waterclose Meadows) and triked into Cambridge and back...

    Paul tries a Pedal Car.

    While Noddy & Big-Ears were having a cup of tea Paul stole their little car and took it for a ride. He also stole Batman's Bat-Mobile and took it for a spin.

    Old News, but lots of fun.

    A really old clip, but I found it interesting to watch. 1994, and I would have been a callow 40YO youth. ;)

    Finally managed that difficult weld.

    It was tough, but it has come out ok.

    That's a challenging ride.

    The longest road in the world to walk, is from Cape Town (South Africa) to Magadan (Russia). No need for planes or boats, there are bridges. It's a 22,387 kilometers (13911 miles) and it takes 4,492 hours to travel. It would be 187 days walking nonstop, or 561 days walking 8 hours a day. Along...

    Clarke Towers Goes POSH.

    At long last the custom made fence panels for the front of the house were delivered. 2" x 1" @2mm frame with hit & miss infill. All matt black powder-coated. Herself is now terrified of them being stolen as they are only bolted to the top of the sleeper wall(s) and undoing 8 bolts or cutting...

    Nothing to lose really.

    OK, I know I said I was NOT building any more trikes. I may have been economical with the truth. I have almost convinced myself that a 2WD delta is on my horizon and that it can be made with my 2WD unit and use that pair of cheap(ish) SA 70mm drum-hub clones I bought on flea-bay on the back...

    Another Quad - But F1 styling. :-)

    I thought this was well made with a nice peripheral frame. Turning Circle looks very good.

    Death Trap for Cyclists.

    Well worth the watch. Really interesting "reasons" why. https://singletrackworld.com/2018/01/collision-course-why-this-type-of-road-junction-will-keep-killing-cyclists/

    Old 2012 clip of Dutch bents includes flevo trike.

    That 2WD unit I made - I have modified it.

    The Delta 2WD unit that I made from freewheel screw-on units was a little "heavy" at over 1Kg. Today I made new screw-in parts out of aluminium, that provide the drive connections from the driven free-wheels to the rear wheel axles. The steel ones were 164grammes each. The Aluminium ones are...
