very great design dont stop build you have good ideeas
aboute aluminium welding you must to have minimum 4mm thick left to be strong enough
or weld and polish to be sure . my opinion

hello

welding I did as you said, this is the first time I weld aluminum
I learned the lesson for next time!

otherwise I'm happy because the painter is progressing well on the bike
I was amazed by his finishing work on the fork!
(Primed in gray)
I'm anxious to see the rest

it should be a simple construction but I got carried away
may be no artist but I like working on a vehicle wheel
