Invisible engine stand indeed! That was Suzanne's idea. She likes the
feel of those great big Ambo jugs and isn't afraid to wrap her arms
around them.


 
 
 
I'm thinking of cutting the front wall and making it drop on pulleys
like a drawbridge so I can get bigger bikes in here.
Then you could dig a moat around your shop and fill it with rubber
snakes. Or chickens. Rubber chickens They're harder to swim through.

 
 The Harley won't
fit through the damn door. I didn't think ahead. Everything else we
pushed in here came through once the handlebars were removed.
I remember once building a Triumph chopper in my basement, 15" over
springer front end, had to drag it up the stairs to the living room to
put the front end on.

 
 Oh, on the subject of shop rags. Be very careful. Most of the rags
available around here in bundles are manmade fabrics and will scratch
the crap out of paint and polished surfaces. aarrrgggg
I've always been leery of red shop rags and painted surfaces. I think of
all the metal chips and turnings that are wiped up with them. Even the
new ones are pretty rough. After my white cotton T-shirts have enough
stains and holes in them they get recycled as polishing rags. I have
some fine finishing polish I can send you that should make it look like
new, let me know.
You can use your own T-shirt, though.

Until the school gets pissed and makes me take it down, I've put up pics


of the Eldo project so far. Lots more but it's already too large of a
site.
