Hooked

G'day people,
I recently found this site while googling images of "English wheels" to make for my son. He's in the process of making his good looking 650 V star look ugly,lol. And wants to make a rear fender.
Absolutely love the site and all the great stuff you members come up with. It's Good to see such solid stuff still being made in this "Built to break,cheap and nasty" world.

Hi Hallsy - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:

How is the English wheel build coming so far? Do you have a design picked out?

Hi Hallsy,

Welcome! :welcome:

Let's see some pics of the wheel under construction... :cool:

Sorry to say I ended up buying one off eBay. My son wanted to get on with his "bobber" bike.
It was relatively inexpensive ($275). It's a clamp it in the vice type and comes with seven dollies.
I've made him a gas forge out of a nine kg gas bottle so maybe I'll post pics of that in action.
Cheers.

Looking forward to the gas forge pics. :)
