Something about this photo makes me want a skateboard again, real bad.

Nice work!

Thanks.

Nice flashlight, it looks like a lightsaber. How long did it take to machine that?

I made a rear rack out of 3/8" stainless steel tubing for my motorcycle this weekend. It didn't quite come out as I had planned as I didn't have the right tools to properly bend the tubing, but it's not too bad for a first try at rack making. I brazed it with 56% silver solder and brass filler rod.

Yeah, a mod should change the thread title to everyone come look at Bunsin being handier than everyone else.

Round stock is heavier than I would want, which is why I went with tubing.

The sand suggestion sounds like it would be worth a try; thanks!

Here's my new project.

It's a horn cap for the steering wheel of my '51. My first try at upholstery type stuff. The circles are 1/4" and 1/8" baltic birch plywood which I routed and glued together. I used contact cement to cover that with leather. It's drying right now and then I'll put some staples in the back. I'm also planning on adding a convexed (cap) piece of hardwood in the center but I don't have any lighter colored wood that would contrast the leather well...

Let me know what you think. I'll post more when I finish.

on a similar note i recovered a pivitol seat with two different types of leather and it came out pretty decent:
