They aren't as wide as they look in the picture. I put the stem part in the vice and stood behind it and found the spot that felt good. And thanks I initially wanted to leave more patina but welding changed that.

So yesterday I spent getting the 2 handle bars tacked up I cut the end of a fork tube then cut it in 1/3 pieces length wise and a pair of vice grips to hold them while tacking. Used the flap wheel on the welds and to get the chrome and paint off then a sander to smooth everything out then hit...

Love the way the middle bar is kinda looks like the old scroll work on those cast iron things on porches

I thought I was making some crazy looking handle bar

I was thinking stuff along the same lines best I thought of was Columbinn

Thanks turned out better than I thought it would but not professional.

Was not liking the first mock up so this morning so I came out to the shop and started taking things off. First was the rear rack took it off and started liking it more. I liked the fender but not in black so I needed to run to the hardware store for some paint and masking tape. They didn't have...

What was that bottle thing below the grenade

Yesterday I got the crank in before my grandson came into my shop wanting to go for a bike ride so bike went on hold. Then today I got some parts mocked up to see what might stay or not.Not really sure what I'm liking or not probably going to change the seat and try out a couple different ones I...

I like the one in the middle

The pot and hose going to the wood box is how you steam your wood? Does that work good and how long does it take to steam the wood?

D Did you mix it with acetone or straight linseed oil?

A little more progress on this build today in between working on my class 2 build. I was at least able to get the fenders sanded and primed. I need to get the fender I found I had forgotten about stripped of multiple layers of paint, tank insert cut out, handle bar welded together and grind the...

Just a little thing I seen on YouTube or somewhere not good for big stuff but works ok for small areas. Just need a blowgun with a long tube make a hole in the tube on top use some kind of bottle to hold the blast media. drill a hole just big enough for a tight fit.

Got the blo applied today hopefully I did it right I mixed it 50-50 with acetone like I seen in a video. Then just wiped it on with a rag let it set for a little bit then wiped off the excess. Could someone tell me if it dries up or will it always be tacky? I also finished up the braces for the...

No think it turned out good enough

Got one of those paint and rust remover abrasive disc and my homemade sandblaster and stripped the frame down to bare metal. Then I sprayed the frame with rust converter primer and now it's drying. Tomorrow if the weather permits going to sand that then spray some gray primer over that. Also...

This morning I went and picked up some brushes and paint to do the stripping between the two colors. Don't think it turned out too bad first time doing it free hand. Thinking of rubbing some blo on the copper color after this finishes drying.

I like how the fender braces curve like that.
