Another new toy.

Post by thatkid »

This one works on 115v so I actually got to use it already. It's a 1948ish Atlas lathe.

This is the first aluminum part I made. I used mine as a template. Dillon's bike will soon be sporting these as soon as I make another one.

Very nice.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....

Looks like you picked up on it real quick. Will you be buying the knurling bit?

I want to but so far they've been pretty pricey. For now I'll be sticking with what came with the lathe.

Thanks guys! Anyone has any requests just let me know. I have a few ideas that will benefit some of the members but not all. I'll post up some pictures when I get 1 done.
