Putting a radius on the arms...
Sorry not many pics this time. Wish I'd done a video tbh, just to get back into the habit.
So almost a bookmatched set of arms.
Yeah that one. Went a bit to hard with the feed rate, paid the price.
I have glued it but that sort of defeats the object of making them from solid. The previous arms were glued up and eventually just fell apart. Will see how I feel about the repair tomorrow. As a side note there are a million giant spiders suddenly. Lucky for me because that chip flew off into a giant spider web!
Just need to trim the edges, drill to fit, laquer etc...
Good job I made nine, just in case...

Good to know, I was watching a set on ebay and they dropped the price by 10% pretty quick. Form over function...

Made an aluminium pin to replace the stainless button head on the gear pedal.
Also got some leather from a place that just sells leather and associated things rather than the stuff I previously got from Amazon. What a difference, it is 50% thicker and yet it cut in 2 passes of the laser instead of 5 on the thinner stuff so I decided to make replacements of the two keyring fobs I made yesterday.
Also made a couple for myself, one with text cut out and the other with the background cut out, they are still drying off so will see what they look like once dried.

Was thinking of seeing if my Honda dealer would stock a few but got news yesterday that both the Dundee and Aberdeen branches have closed with immediate effect due to the owner retiring. Not really a believable reason but don't know what the real reason is. He seemed a nice guy so not sure. Feel sorry for the mechanics and sales staff and it will be sadly missed as they were a great dealership

He can also make the stainless steel "food grade" framework to hold it all up...Shame you're not into masochism. Looks like you could make yourself some impressive personalised bondage gear.
