The Chopper Compendium

did it work for ya?

Hi curt, yes got the rocker plans and figured out my printer problems again so they are printed to full size. So i am making another list of some more materials to get them designed.

make the flat ones theyre much easier to make and can be used on either side less material too you can always change em later

Curt, i am going to make the flat rockers seem alot easier than the trunnion style rockers. Build the confidence first then go to more complex.

exactly

Well todays progress, slowly cutting out some materials to start making the ram mounting brackets.

watch out for those beers they make the metal move when you try to cut it

Hi curt, hope you are doing well. I had to go out for a beer run and buy another couple cases, it helps me relax and i think better for some reason.

Todays progress, got some threaded rod to pin the two plates together and get them shaped, drilled out perfect.

good work there

Thanks curt, it is slowly coming together. Going to finish drilling some holes out so i can put all the threaded rod through holes so when i get drilling them out they stay perfectly square and even.

Hi maxthegardener, i am still working on the bike build and have lots of stuff being built at the same time. Getting more materials ordered plus parts, blew up my new dewalt angle grinder smoke everywhere. Glad i kept the bill of purchase so i called up my tool store and they are willing to give me a new one in exchange.

Hi guys and gals, well i exchanged my dewalt grinder that blowed up for a brand new makita angle grinder. So we will see how this one works out, also purchased some more 3/8" threaded rod with nuts and washers so i can completely pin my springer plates together when shapeing and final drilling.

Todays progress, cutt out last plate to rough shape and useing some 3/8" threaded rod with nuts and washers to start pinning the plates together for final shapeing and drilling. Also belt sanded all the plates for a nicer top finish.
