    Yes the first one always takes the longest,thinking how you can do this and do that then trying and modifying it and how to improve.On my custom chopper i stand and look at it for ages placing this here and what if i do that how will that look,even the pics i look to see how i can improve it but it will always get better next time around.

    There were just thousands of different angles I had to cut in mine. In the tank alone there were about 25 separate pieces of timber with each edge being angled specifically to suit the mating piece. You know cut, glue, wait, cut glue wait, weeks it took. Next time, I'm simply going to laminate a block and shape it. I tried to build the shape I needed this time to reduce waste, but I don't think it was the best way to go about it. Live and learn!

    Agree. It is just amazing. It would be an attraction in any wood show or exhibition.

    I think putting in on a rocker kills it. It just doesn't look right.

    Ash, that is fantastic! Absolutely brilliant work!



    Your great grand children will be arguing over who gets to keep that one!

    Well done.

    Ash, i see you love your bikes and not sure if you have One HD on but in 15 minutes (10.45 sun night) they are replaying the Isle of Man doco from today…. Best bit of bike TV viewing I have seen for years. it’s a must must see.

    Thanks Lig, I saw that in the TV guide and am disappointed I can't see it. We don't get the HD channels where are. I don't know why, but we miss out on so many good shows. Thanks for the heads up, hope you enjoy!

    I am, 2nd time around. Watching the on bike camera is soooooooooo scary. Best part is the people sitting on the footpath 1 meter away with bikes going close to 300ks . Mind boggling.

    Great piece of work and I agree about taking it to a show; it would attract a lot of interest

    I did watch the MotoGP this morning and it was a good race. But Isle of Man is just nuts, those guys really do ride at a different level.

    Thanks Groggy! In the couple of days since I put it on a few forums, its already made its way to many others. I'm very surprised and pleased with the great feedback. A show would be a bit intimidating I think. But hopefully one day, I'll get an experience like that.

    Thanks again!
