Re: Timber Baron
It's a Mastercraft,from Canadian Tire.Takes normal t50 staples.The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't put alot of weight on it,you squeeze it at the front instead of a regular gun that you squeeze at the back.Great xmas gift though and I thanked my Grandma very much!

Re: Timber Baron
Got the chainring more or less done tonite.I swappped the original with a solid one.It's not dished so I had to shim it.
Dulled up the carbide teeth
opened up the hole,needed some dremelling too,plus drilled for the drive pin
pulled some veneer of an old door
sanded and wiped on some finish.might add another coat.
Lots of leather leftover from the seat,managed to cut some 3ft+ strips from it and worked on the grips.I'm going to tweak it a bit but here's what I arrived at.The bar end is an old car upholstery(?) button

Re: Timber Baron **truss rods**
I managed to get my truss rods and bracket done.I used a chunk of brass from a bracket, an axle and cones for the hardware.
Cut some dowel to length and gave 'em a sandin'
Used terminal lugs for the rod ends
Added some colour

Here are the front lights I made.Found a pair of salt and pepper shakers with a good shape,chromed brass with threaded bottoms,what luck.A trip to the $ store hooked me up with some great little flashlights,the bodies are 3 pieces all threaded together.
cut out the bottoms
took apart bells for the brackets
cut lenses from a flouresent cover
assembled

Re: Timber Baron *headlights on*
Great looking bike! Thanks for proving that that lighting method works. Universal thought process in effect. Peace

Made up my pedals.Had some old Phillips pedals with trashed blocks.Cut some blocks from a chunk of red oak off a table leg.
shaped them and did some sanding on the weekend while camping
stuck some 60 grit adhesive flooring sander paper on
softened the edges,rubbed some color and assembled
here's what I did for the seat post.Had an old crank,cut off some,then grinded Flipped the original post and cut a slot for the pinch
slipped the post into the seat tube,then the crank into the post.added the seat

Made the tail lite from a sink pipe extender,lens from a red record,blue dot and another $ store lite
My sweetie drew out the headbadge like the schwinn hornet packin' a chainsaw.dipped it in acid then,cut out and antiqued it with wood stain
Grips are leather matching the seat.1 layer of leather,then wrapped with a 3 foot piece.An old upholstery button used for the bar end
