The Chopper Compendium

I was going to post the link for airbrush-tech.com but the site has been taken down. They had good tutorials and technical data for airbrush, paint & bodywork.

If you find some good links post 'em up for our perusal.

It looks like it starts on page 749. Alot of info is missing, but still good stuff

See...I knew you could do it. I'm not overly fond of duct tape. Too much glue, breaks down in sunlight. You may think of vinyl elect. tape...or better yet, cut an inner tube for a rubber spacer. Then you could make the hole oversized and maybe use an American sized hole. Just a thought.

Assemble the clamps using a washer to seperate the halves. Drill as close as you can...then file to suite. You can scribe a mark to file to and hold in a vice to help keep it square. When you get close, clamp in place and slide the clamp over the surface to find the high spots. Use a bearing scraper...

I admire the work you're putting into this. Holding it is one thing...squareing it, verifying, resetting your datum and checking again so you don't scrap all work to date is a chore that requires patience and "skill". My father had been building an alum compression arm since the 60's. He u...

It is a sweet treet to see this progress. My father said in job shoping he could always underbid since everyone else included the price of fixturing. He developed a style of workholding using modular clamping. Oddly enough, even when he started doing volume, he would still setup modular workholding....

That's not a rule is it? lol I would have to agree. I used to work in a foundry and the spent alot of time testing and adding all...

Interesting workholding. I've got some pcs coming up that I may need to do similar. I like this thread.

I've only had this happen to me twice. 1st was running out of gas...can you hear/feel the gas flow. The 2nd was using painted filler rod (long story)...cleaned off the paint and it fixed the problem.

went down yesterday...was up again @4A-CST...and down again

It's been a good rally. Alot of people showin up. These trophies were well recv'd. The braze actually took on a patina after I clear coated them. I wonder how they'll look in a year.

I should have had the band play that song!!!

I was volunteered to make some trophies for this weekends rally.

This is the kinda "shite" that gets me in trouble.

You've always got to look out for the other guy too...

How many fingers are you missing?
