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.
Hi Syko Triker,
Welcome! :welcome:
Nice machine shop you've got there! Let's see the trike you built…

What's next on your build list?

And two of the Trike.
Trike is a GS850GN Suzuki in a frame made by a friend (as I'm no welder) Tanks are aftermarket HD 2.5 gallon, rear axle is from a Reliant Rialto, front end is Suzuki GSX 1100 efe with uprated brakes. Seats are from a Suzuki VL125.
Very nice!
What are you working on now?
Ken
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.:lol:
Good news I have started planning Tot rod number two similar to this one.

Looks like a neat build! Keep us posted on progress…

Welcome to the forums, Syko Triker. While that trike is cool, the tot rods are way cooler! :thumbsup:

My latest acquisition, Marlow 3A milling machine from the early 60's (bit like myself).
Hoping to get on with the tot rods very soon and this will help.
Few bits to make for it but it works and it was free, couldn't pass it up.
nice trike and bot tot rods are super cool
