Sweet. Don't climb mill! If u got to take out a bunch of metal, try to use a portaband, grinder, etc. And finish on the mill.

I remember you telling me that before. I think I can get majority of it with my bandsaw. Got this mainly for area around the bolt holes. Guess you already figured out what I intend to make huh? Lol.

Washed the ole girl today first time in couple weeks. It was all road grime. I'm ashamed of myself. She needs mud bad.

I think so, but I don't think your going to sell many of those attachments that keeps you from sliding around on the seat.

Nice looking work!

Thanks bud. I ended up with enough for 3 sets. It's very labor intensive making these. No jigs or anything so every set is fitted and made individually. I'm definitely not doing it for the money lol

Got my "Oh crap" gauge installed. Thanks fubar for that link. I'm confident it will ease my rollover anxieties some. Don't want them totally gone cause having the crap scared outta me is half the fun lol.

Same one I got...

Had one of those in a Jeep years ago. Quickly decided the amount of vinyl seat material in my shorts was a better indication of impending flop ...

I am lucky because my bud had a lathe and Bridgeport thats gigantic and lives next door. But to be honest the lathe terrifies me I always fear getting sucked up in it. I have thought about buying a small one that I am not so apprehensive around like that looks like an awesome place to start.

Grizzly makes good stuff reasonably priced. My bandsaw is around 6-7yrs old and still works fine. They make a mini lathe I may look into getting.

We have lathes at work and those cage bungs are easy enough to sneak in tucked away in my backpack.
