Last Build

Posted this just cos its been quiet in here. Some will have seen it as its posted on another forum but its my first build and did the outline on my first tattoo (on me) so kinda special bond. Its a heavy mofo, hits pretty soft thought and lines half decent (unlike me) at around 5.5V. I got no way of checking anything else. Half way through the second one but could be a few weeks yet.Industrial is my bag btw. Any comments welcome

very nice looking machine john

i like how you used the lock end of the key and not the hand end, it makes a nice change..... how did ya secure the coin on there ??? (i got one i need to secure on mine)

i presume the threpney bit is ya date of birth you old git


congrats on the build mate, i aint got the chance to have a go at making my own yet.... probably in the summer, who did the coils ?

looks interesting dude. how much did you make your self??

I was never any good at metal work or I'd have a go my self

Cheers Keith, I used loctite. I know most people braze em but the stuff I used is what we use at work and stands temperatures of 200+c so takin a standared autoclave runs at 130c and I aint got one anyway it should be ok I file the queens kite off and stone the face so its a good seat before I bond it.

Cool, somebody who recognises a threepenny bit, ya cheeky bastard, ya not that far behind

I did the coils, not happy with the washers I turned em outa hardwood but the grains the wrong way. Coils are a pain bro.

Everything bar the springs.

Can I just add, out of respect for the lads who some of us know, and have learned from, that I'm not anywhere near a builder, its just this was the nearest place. Just realised the implications of the forum title.

im sure they wont mind mate, in fact i think they will be impressed with the outcome of your machine and knowing that you have done your homework on the subject

as for the the threpney bit........ i have a 1964 one i need to put on my machine



ps... if ya making any more machines i have a 1967 threpney bit and a 1961 two bob piece going spare if ya want them ??

64? Thats me mate, you too?
ooh! Big 2 bob bit? Nice side fill on a Walker

your 1964...... dammit that makes me an old git as well as you then

if ya want the 2 shilling piece then send me a pm with an address to send it to and i'll post it off to ya mate, theres more chance of you using it than me

i have a few old coins here floating around in various places

Sorry Keith, missed this one.
Yea, I'll do that mate.
Cheers
