Dang. I relized that my kickstand is part of the frame. I'm going to have to come up with something for that. :shock: :wink:
 
Gigs you may borrow my welded Chain kickstand idea! I even have extra chain if you need it.

:x I hate it when you spend all that time on an item.
I had planned on using it for my luggage rack. But the luggage rack I had isn't metal and there is no way of attaching it any other way. So off they go to the rack of metal to be used another time.

:idea: Oh but I could use this metal. Just have to do a little cutting. :D

Well they are turning out better than I had imagined I could get them to look! :)
Can't wait to see this all done and on Lil' Pixie.

Now its time to weld them together.
Boy that is looking pretty good.

Now clean up that top weld a little. This way I can clamp it down to weld the back and make sure that it doesn't warp on me.

If you haven't figured it out yet, I am making this for the luggage rack. Time to cut down the rack that it is going to go on. (the rack is a little too long for Lil' Pixie)

Ha!! You must eat wafer discs for breakfast!!! How many of those things did you burn thru makin the rack?
:lol:
I used one completely up and started with another one.

Chainsaw was also using it on stuff he was doing, in between my breaks on working on the rack.

cool rack ....you rock not many woman doing this kind of stuff 'round these parts

Thanks, I like to try new things. I grew up with all my uncles and Dad doing carpentry. So I love doing hands on work.

I also like to try new things.
My Grandpa signed me up for gun safety classes as soon as I was old enough. I was the first girl to take the class around here. 8) So I'm not afraid to try new things!
My step-Grandpa tried to teach me how to Carve wood. I say tried because, "he says be careful how you cut them legs out you don't cut yourself." :shock: A second later I was across the room at the sink with my thumb cut open.

I got over to the storage today and got a little more done.

I did a little mock up to see how the luggage rack is going to look.
8)
Remember it is just a mock up. The top part will fit all the way against the bars when it is done.
