magnant would have told if they were steel or brass, you weld you have to have some of those cheap hf welding corner mags we do hahaah
quail Japanese coturnix quail very cool pets 1/2 the size of the northern bob white
was gonna tell ya to use a live center. although I would have used threaded rod and huge washers instead of boring it out. but looks like you got it
wow that is what you are going to do man that is wow good
There's center cutting and noncenter cutting and I'd look for some cheap vice parrellis to support your work
ever thought of engine braking?….good work:)
Nice re-use of the skateboard wheel and a horse shoe.  loving the ingenuity
Looking great Darrin , Good work man ! Thumbs up..
All it takes is lots of thought and skill, you have it made.
Good work on the ratbike.
If I win the 1.5 billion lottery, I'm giving you a million! Cheers from, Ohio…
Mustie1, Love the way U bring all those little bits and pieces from the hoard to create this bike, cool the way the 1/2 horse shoe matches the contour of the engine fly wheel… The way U used the copper wire to create a threaded cover for the gas cap was amazing, good build, thanks for posting!
Always lots of time spent with mental construction . The length if this bike really adds to the line nicely keep at it
I truly enjoy your videos Mustie. I believe with you talking things thru gives you a better perspective and helps us think with you, that's what I enjoy. And then we can comment on our ideas which in turn helps you. Love fabricating. Good video for sure.

Was watching the Mecum bike auction. So many of those early 1900's bikes reminded me of what you do. Man did some of them bring lotsa $$$
the bike's coming together..
looks good
I recon that bird on the tap looks like a Partridge…Bike progress is one thing I look forward to…Cheers Darren…Love it.
Looking great, I sure like the fins on that engine!!
great work my friend, she is coming together nice. cheers man
Looking Good Mustie! Its great to see the Bridgeport in action……..you are learning! End mills do not like heat, slower spindle speeds will make them last a long time between sharpenings. Its a learning curve, you will get the hang of it!
yeah i like it too…lol. like the idea of the anti ass over tea kettle front brake too.
Good update. It's Mustie's version of Clue. Mustie did it with the pliers no wait he did it with the shovel er ah bicycle seat in the garage.
Is it possible to heat that copper knob, then re-tin it by brushing with a soft brass wire brush? Not saying it'll work, I've never tried it, just thinking out loud.
Love this build! If you mount a front fender…won't it have to mount to the wheel spindle some how? Seems like if it was mounted rigid to the forks you could take a chance on the fender bottoming out on the wheel…just a thought.
