The Chopper Compendium

Some updated pics. Used an old KZ frame to aid in setting up the rack a bit. Almost done... http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn303/EaracheBikeTrips/Intensity%20shop/IMG_7306.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn303/EaracheBikeTrips/Intensity%20shop/IMG_7304.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albu...

I've been collecting pix of fixtures on welding benches, could post some of those. The fixtures are pretty inovative, and make it a lot easier to clamp parts and tools in place, or hold items in position. Not exactly a contribution to build a product for sale, altho some of them might be candidates...

I'm always happy to help out others that need something made. I'm fortunate enough to have my own lathe, mill, welders, brake, shears, etc and am willing to make stuff (spacers, etc) for those that don't have access to equipment.

Started on a frame rack as well... http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn303/EaracheBikeTrips/Intensity%20shop/IMG_7024.jpg Don't have an immediate need for it yet, so that can wait a bit to finish up... http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn303/EaracheBikeTrips/Intensity%20shop/IMG_7026.jpg Again, pr...

I'm new to chopping and making swinagrms, etc but not new to fabrication. So be gentle with me! My first attempt at a swingarm jig... http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn303/EaracheBikeTrips/Intensity%20shop/IMG_7022.jpg Started with an old Bridgeport mill table and them built the uprights.
