making silly things

[rev106]

I recently got a mill and had no idea how to use it so I decided to try and make some things on it. So far I made a set of dropouts for a fork and then at the request of someone that rode with us on our BMX Tuesdays ride wanting a clamp to reinforce the coaster brake tab on a champion twin down tube cruiser. So I gave it some thought, he wanted a big clamp but I thought I could come up with something more svelte so I made the "tab saver". Kinda silly being there like 12 of

these bikes left on the globe but again, why not? It fit perfect, so I can use my first one to make more. Just good practice, the mill is an amazing machine!!!

I would not call that accessory “silly” by any means! Top man!!!

Had to use some serious redneck engineering to get it in my yard.

You gotta do what you gotta do! That includes whatever means you can find to do it!

Took all day to wrestle that beast into the shed, worth it!

That mill will never die (pun intended).
