It's a sad week when I don't get in the shop, but for me, "shop time" is either messing about in my tiny 8' x 12' shed that's crammed full of machine tools, or at the railway spannering hoofing geat big bits of steam engine.
I'll mostly be posting projects from my home shop, but I'll throw in some from the steam shop for good measure. Here goes!
First up: Drift Trike. Unashamedly inspired by Colin Furze (but I have better tools ). This is really my mates project - I helped with machining stuff.
Starting with the frame, let's boff some holes in some angle to mount the bearings and clear the axle:
Machine the correct size hole in the "pilot bore" sprockets:
Didn't snap the broaching, but this is my setup to machine a cross hole for a set screw:
Putting the old power hacksaw to use cutting steel for the engine mount:
Getting the holes precise is easy with a mill. Hole for aded lightness:
Rear axle coming together:
To be continued....
