There was a TV show on here a few years back on Bush Mechanics, these guys are aboriginals and they were making brake shoes and clutch pads out of certain types of bush woods, was actually realy cool to watch as well as have a good laugh.

Oh yeah, I've done the bush lathe thing and much worse :-D
It's amazing what you can do when you have little to work with.

a bastard file is my best friend (when all my real tools fail)
sandblaster:
I have several bastard files.
Some are ancient but they still work 8-)

Poor mans water jet:
Poor mans milling machine....
Now I'm wondering if I should finish it or wait for a really nice one from Roost....
Yeah, I'm going to make a stab at finishing it :lol:

...before you finish your version look at the clearance to kickstarter-swing and the brake pedal, if it would be installed on the bike. i think this two points are very important.
now you are 2 steps before me :-D... the men of steel is now the man of aluminium ... :lol:
