As long as you guys don't think we all have kangaroos in our backyards ...

WHAT!! You mean you don't?! Hollywood lied to us again.

 

[kingfish254]

looking sweet kingfish!!! I'm still waiting for a girvin fork to find me...

Thanks, now I need to start engineering how to take apart the girvin fork legs and make my own forks.

 

[kingfish254]

Lookin' good! I enjoyed your build last year and can't wait to see what you do with this stellar frame and parts stash

Glad you liked Firewing. I am hoping I can do this frame justice in the end.

Thanks Ian, Everything so far has felt right together.

Ah so that cardboard mock up wasn't to show what was going to be pasted to the outside of those forks...

No sir. I am hoping to take double sheets of this metal with about a half inch gap and make forks that look something like the inspiration ones below. I think I might even be able to keep the rusty blue as is. We'll see how it matches up.

That rusty blue would be cool if it can be saved!

Luke.

It's also a pretty good match to the blue on the old bicentennial thermos.

what kind of blade do you use with the saber saw?

 

[jats]

thinking this fork is going to fit the Kingfish standard of
excellence

 

[kingfish254]

Just a normal metal cutting blade. When it comes time for the cutouts I imagine I will be doing some filing and dremelling too.

For me I would maybe get the sparks flying and wear out a cutting disc on the angle grinder... but that is me

 

[Ichoptop]

[ODDER]

Thought you'd get a kick out of this.

 

[kingfish254]

Oh man, someone took a photo of me in my build off costume!!!

 

[kingfish254]
