    Workshop fixes today, the china made cold saw's soluble oil tank has been to small and a pain
    in the arse from the first day I owned the machine. Just a simple catch can to increase
    capacity and cut down on crap fouling the pump.....
    Lets just say I may or may not have been off tap making this to very loud music and a purple haze.....





    and got to finish machining the z disk centre's to match the dymag front rim on the Z1r race bike

    some more workshop upgrades....
    the old tap, reamer and machine tool shelve have been repurposed,
    moved tooling, cut and weld steel work, happily tho the old shelve are a
    perfect fit for the box's of jig tooling for the lift table.
    managed to fit the lift table control unit and isolators behind in the dead space.

    Ozzy, I have some anodised alloy parts (Gold Pazzo levers and a few others)
    the normal caustic oven cleaner did nothing to remove the anodising.

    How would they go in a vapour blaster ?

    Sadly I doubt I'll be finished building the workshop before then but it's not that a silly idea
    I was thinking of putting something on closer to when I'm finished, need to
    have the bar and lounge area finished first. I have to straighten and repair two frames to pay for the timber
    tops. Unfortunately I have to build the hardware to do so first while still building another 3 bikes here atm.

    Right oh, have been in need of a bead blaster for some time now. Finally dropped some bills
    on a ruff 2nd hand commercial machine that needed a rebuild. It's on the small side, cost
    more than the same size hare and forbs machine and needed work. On the plus side the repairs
    were easy, it's big enough for my needs, and with the work needed I did all the upgrades I wanted to
    no matter what machine I could afford ($250 hand piece etc ). Extras are glass not plastic viewing, better
    extraction and filtering, and a far superior result on far less bead. Still a few jobs to finish, a air dust gun inside
    and a high flex suction hose ($100 ouch) to the hand piece.

    start with this...



    epoxy fill the horrid modification to the bottom of the hopper....



    modify a 1" brass tee to allow suction at take off point...



    add some hose and hardware, shake and use, enjoy....
