The Chopper Compendium

Hi guys and gals, trying to locate all my pics of my springer build. Thank god i have them all on my photobucket account, so i will try to post them in order from start to finish.

lookin good so far

Good progress Thomas, keep watching Curt's springer build, he's getting his done and posting really good pics and details.......you will find this helpful

Maz xx

ya pay close attention to the screwups so ya dont make the same mistakes lol

Hi maz and curt, still need to finish cutting two pieces out. Get them drilled out and clamped together for shapeing them to the proper size etc. Now i have some better tools so it should move along faster.

well keep watchin

Hi curt, now i have a good quality dewalt angle grinder so i am going to buy a 20 pack of cutting disks. So it will not take long to finish cutting out the other parts to shape. The fun is just beginning.

the cutting disks are the way to go just be careful they snap off and fly apart real easy if ya twist the grinder at all . let the machine cut it dont force it when they fly apart they go in to ya deep so keep the guard on it

I have had alot of cutting discs fly apart on me so i now exactly what you are saying. Been real lucky to not get cutt up badly so far and i never use my machinery without the safety guards for protection. Gotta be patient and let the cutting discs do the work with no hard pressure.

Well, canadian tire is having some tool sales and they have the cutting discs on sale for $12.00 plus taxes for a 20 pack. So looks like friday i will be buying more stuff for the build to keep moving forward.

thats cheap buy 2

I will more than likely buy atleast two, waiting for the year end canadian tire sale on welders. Hopeing to get the lincoln mig pack 180 welder at a lower rock bottom price. We will see how low they sell them at the end of the year.

Well, managed to make some little progress so far today. Cutt out another tree plate to rough shape, one more to go then i can do all the final shapeing and get holes drilled to final sizes needed.

Here are the pieces i have rough cut to shape, still need to trim them to final shape etc.

little by little you will get there
