heres a little project i got roped into
its a tinplate enclosed chaincase
i used a bit of 22swg ms plate and tigged it at 35 amps with mig wire 1mm
had to form the outer radius with help of a scottish wheel and i borrowed one of my neighbours barbels as a former in the vice to do much hammering against for the compound curve next the raised sides were added with the edge turned over 5mm with a jenny wheel
have to add all the holes and mountings next it all slots into each other , the original parts are made of tinplate and soldered and there is much repairs to do so il have to look out my trusty propane bolt
more pics as we go
ps its off a 1924 v twin
