    Hi all another new bod.

    Came across this site whilst trying to find plans for a linisher.

    I have access to and use a Wabeco CNC mill, Jet 3 1/2" lathe and also 3 Colchester lathes and two Bridgeport mills and a XYZ mill.

    I'm an engineer/technician by trade and also a hobby engineer.
    I have built my own trike and currently a tot rod for my daughter.

    Here's a couple of photos of my shop at work.

    Still working on the Tot rod when I can, still have the drive system to sort and keeping the trike on the road.

    Don't get a great deal of time as Daughter's 4 and we also have an 12 week old boy as well.

    Not bad for a 54 year old eh!

    Is the tot rod going to have a pedal-drive arrangement of some sort?

    More power to you with two little ones at 54 - I'm sure it would kill me at 49!

    Tot rod will be electric 12/24V not sure which yet. They might be the start of my early demise Ken.
