Snarley parts.

Beyond H-words.
Turnin' time.

 Excited about life.
 Burnout?

Snow shovel?
 All weather 2 wheeler.

Monday night

Dinner and a movie....
I meant dinner and lathe.....

Secret sauce?
No, not really
Mmm...Seitan......
 Doesn't look as good as it was.......
I could eat this every night
 These eyes kill me
My little horse
She can always tell what is going on in my head
 "You are not following protocol!"

Preparing for the sissy bar
4.5mm wide 6mm I.D. spacers to welding it to
Hope I have time to clean up some welds...
..and start taking care of this ugliness tomorrow.

Padlocks and steel

A few locks arrived in the mail today.

Miller elephant lock.
Slightly larger than the one I have.
I think there were 3 sizes....

Crusader.
Looks pickable....

Goliath 8 lever with key...
Not Eagle Lock Co.....

Corbin lock, newer.

Kangaroo lock. 
This thing is super skinny....

 Electric start delete caps, Shadow handlebars, seat mounts, sissy bars...
They all look like this at one point in their lives......
Moyou approved.

Spinning metal, turning plugs

This probably doesn't look like much to most people.
If you run barebones Honda's and think it sad that the tach drive is all naked out there spinning in the wind, then you might like what you see a little more.

I will admit it is ugly though.
First successful part made on the Jet lathe.

Moyou's birthday month

  So first a new bed and some toys.
Now a lathe.  Look at how happy she is!
Thanks Tim's brother.
I hope everything works out for you.

Operating room and Moyou's birthday

The lift needed new cast iron wheels.  
Bought them close to size and turned them out.  
Thanks as always Ryan....

Slightly larger....

Moyou, "When will we get one of these, dad?"
"When you start paying rent."-Me

November is Moyou's birthday.  It will be 2 years since I adopted her in February.  
A new elephant, chew toy, and bigger bed.  
The american apparel stuff is on it's way.  Shh...she doesn't know yet.

I finally framed in the windows....almost done.
Baby blue racing stripes?


The first patient in the OR.  
Thursday bike night tear down?

Rice.

Veggies.
  Might have to rename this blog to rice and veggies for life.  Sustenance. 

Auction near Danville

Got some junk, took some pictures.


Nice old barn.

Autumn.

Lathes I didn't buy.  The big one went for 110 or so, the small for 75 I think....


Will probably regret not buying this.

Enco Lathe

Enco 9" x 20" lathe.  I want.  
Anybody have an opinion on this one?

Saturdays with my brother.

Went to visit my Big bro and family this morning.

Envy.

I am not going to pretend I did that much.
He set up the lathe and I asked a bunch of questions then I worked some levers for a couple hours.

Clean.


 Calibrate and center

Cut away.

Flip and score.

Punch and drill

Done.

This is what Ryan did while I spend hours on the lathe.
