I like! Might be a little better if the cams kicked up in the air a little higher.

I would rather see how they hold out first I have made them from .7 stainless not sure they will hold up to the pounding, glad you are not in a hurry as the way work is going it looks like I will be fully booked until the start of next winter. Couple of pics of what I have achieved this morning glad the delivery was late so got a few hours done. All fully welded and polished to a fashion. |

Yeah dont panic I'm only getting a rough plan together in my head at present.
Looks like some nice pipes you've made so far there - I'm guessing that you are fabricator / welder by trade? Just looked at your profile - yup thought so ![]() Last edited by Nottsbiker; 21-02-2012 at 12:05 PM.. Reason: updating |

Decided to have the day off and finish my cans cut some 3" perforated tube packed them with stainless wool welded them up and gave them a weigh, came in at 2lb. now thats a great improvement on the std abortion that was on it before.

Looks like you took them to the local church to be weighed by the looks of the background
![]() Are you going to polish or paint etc the cans? |

I have sent away for a Norton Vortex polishing disc to give it a try I had the Norton rep in yesterday but he did not have any to give as a sample. This disc removes and gives a polished finish in one go it is a form of a unitised disc. I will see how it looks if not upto scratch (no pun intended) I will paint black. R.E. window : I have a friend who does stained glass as a hobby.

The window looks good - a friend of mine had one of a bike over his front door years back which I was always envious of.
Sound like you have done good contacts there then mate - can't best some inside help out trade price etc on the pdf part or three |
