welding and fabrication course coming to an end

             Have spent this year doing a Welding and Fabrication course at
             the College of North West London.
             Here are the results of the practical part of the course



                                                         
                                                               Can't wait to get this home and put some tools in it!!

                                                   
                                                                  That was my first go at oxy-acetylene .cleaned up nice!
             
                                                           

                   
                                                         The two welding test pieces for MIG & MMA.
                                                         Made up of a T fillet, a V butt & an outside corner.
                                                         It's been hard work getting to this stage with just over
                                                         2 hours a week
                                                         I'm quite pleased with results in the end
                                                         Passed the written paper on Monday.
                                                         I'm hoping that next year they will run a Machining       
                                                         course that fits in with work.
                                                         All very basic I know but we all start somewhere!!

Triton build. These should help it go faster!




3134 cams &  R followers should help! 
The question now is whether to go for the Morgo conversion?

found this link  on a post on Lowbrows"Milwaukee Murderer"  thread ( which is cool in it self) on the Jockey Journal.
Seems to be a revival of the twin engined drag bike.I think they're great specially when it's two triumph engines!
reckon this might be one to follow

Futura drag bike

- aluminum spun wheels (industrial plumbing flanges) and a space age mega-capacity gas tank (vintage flashlight). Solid aluminum bicycle crank arms and vintage tennis racket press parts handle the suspension duties up front and a set a fender supports lifted of a Harley Davidson take care of the "south end". An ice cream scoop fairing, old golf pull cart leg frame and a "blown" chainsaw monster motor round out this package.
Some Friday art by Lockwasher over on the Jockey Journal..NICE!!
