    update talking to scotty i prob wont need wet nos
    if i find i want more power after im finished he will change the base gasket for some more comp and just swap out to off the shelf
    cams , cheep and easy and more power than i can prob use(we will see lol)

    bare bike is at a old kiwi bloke's place to be strightened


    im waiting to see if i can get some 40 mm plate in just over 200 round. This is to see if i can make a tube bender (not a pipe bender ),
    for no other reason than a pro tools manual bender or other brand will cost between 500 and 1000. This is to be able to do russ's
    arm in his xjr the way id like to, between us we think we can work around it but if i can and dont cost $ or to much time Id like to do it the better way.
    so inbetween tring to make a start on the mill, finish some of the workshop off, fix scotty's ulrtrasonic, makeing tube bender, making do with fuck all work-there for fuck all money and makeing it work with my ex I would like to make the bike lift and work top. I have always thought of makeing one out of the piece of 12 mm plate i have had standing up agaisnt the side of the house for 8 or so yrs.........
    did some lines on paper because computers are the work of satain

    worked out what I had in air rams would be about 8 times short of force i will need to lift the 750 800 kgs
    250 bike
    100 me
    prob over 250 for the 12 mm and 65mm rhs of legs
    and a bit for head room just in case


    i have 3 of these but one wasnt enough to get car of ground but 2 lifted the rear so i thought about 250 kgs each...
    looked up google and found specs and they are rated at 300 kgs each at 6 bar so well short of the 10 tone i think ill need in lift
    not to worry tho 20 ton air/ manual hyd jack off ebay for under 150 to my door will do it

    oh and just a knife in a tree

    lol at yr own risk
    what you will find is i dont like people but i do like persons
    persons get to come into the shed cause they understand the rules and how hard it is to get toghter all this stuff but above all how to keep it to them selfs
    people on the other hand get to die in the fucking street for all i care
    depends on what type you want to be but happy to have a chat as any 1 that knows me can tell u
    i would rather you did i good job on that 400 cause i really like them and think they could be a great thing
    and if i can help with some advice im happy to

    sharky keeps telling me that i seam to spend more time building things to build bikes than building the bike im building them for.......

    he is of coarse complety corect but fuck it as a single dad with 50/50 care of my son it means at times all i have is time
    now if i could just spend more time working than thinking about them i would be set.........

    but 1st a big thank you to tony for his free to good home power hack saw and then turning out to be a top bloke with a wealth of knowledge and experience and some really really cool toys....

    made a trolly out of some really shity scrap and found drinking can effect your work...
    the next day when i went to tack up it wouldnt make a square mmmmmn oh one side is 100 short doh
    oh and you had to use miss matched sizing to get the lengths in the 1st place and have no more
    well quess just add a bit in, it is just to wheel the fucking thing around out the way when you park yr truck after all :-( .......



    here it is cutting 100x100 for the bike lift table like its nothing so much better than the drop saw

    made a tramel so i could mark out on lift table



    tried it



    but what really is killing me is how can something as simple as a lifting table take so much design and thought.........
    i wish i could use 3d moderling or be willing to go into the pain of learnig it cause last night was about 1 to 2 hrs with drinks to design where the 80 mm roller will be centered in the 75 rhs legs as to allow rotation and be the best way to build easy and with whats at hand so it cost nothing arrrrrrrrrrrr its a fucking wheel siting at the end so it can move up and fucking down how hard can it be..............still would have been a ass fuck but less than this mess



    some times im graced with a better class



    and why oh why wont my workshop clean its self

    blaa who needs cad when you have scotch and a some good old paper

    this is over kill but ended the easy way to make shore that i get enough preload at the pivot fixed pionts
    to stop side lash made worse by not wanting to run a gide on the rolling pivot pionts
    i will be running plastic washers to smooth out the action

    it is just a lift table but for what i have in mind now and into future a good soild base is just what i need
    thinking over kill is better than wishing i did....

    Do you really think 12mm plate is going to be strong enough for your lift table? Personally I'd go for 20mm, or to be really safe 25mm
