I like! Might be a little better if the cams kicked up in the air a little higher.

Just out of interest would you ever consider making another set of cans?
Im certainly in no hurry but like what you've made so far  |

I would rather see how they hold out first I have made them from .7 stainless not sure they will hold up to the pounding, glad you are not in a hurry as the way work is going it looks like I will be fully booked until the start of next winter. Couple of pics of what I have achieved this morning glad the delivery was late so got a few hours done. All fully welded and polished to a fashion. |

Yeah dont panic I'm only getting a rough plan together in my head at present.
Looks like some nice pipes you've made so far there - I'm guessing that you are fabricator / welder by trade? Just looked at your profile - yup thought so Last edited by Nottsbiker; 21-02-2012 at 01:05 PM.. Reason: updating |

Decided to have the day off and finish my cans cut some 3" perforated tube packed them with stainless wool welded them up and gave them a weigh, came in at 2lb. now thats a great improvement on the std abortion that was on it before.

Looks like you took them to the local church to be weighed by the looks of the background
Are you going to polish or paint etc the cans? |

I have sent away for a Norton Vortex polishing disc to give it a try I had the Norton rep in yesterday but he did not have any to give as a sample. This disc removes and gives a polished finish in one go it is a form of a unitised disc. I will see how it looks if not upto scratch (no pun intended) I will paint black. R.E. window : I have a friend who does stained glass as a hobby.

The window looks good - a friend of mine had one of a bike over his front door years back which I was always envious of.
Sound like you have done good contacts there then mate - can't best some inside help out trade price etc on the pdf part or three |
