On Ya Trev,
Luv your work.....

Hey Trev,

You can take some satisfaction that a broken lever is often one of the first things broken on a 'real' motorbike too...

It happens all to often... Forget to put the side stand...

G'day Trevor,

It's nice to see you get a least a little bit of recognition from the ABC show.
You deserve a whole lot more than that. I think you genuinely greatly underestimate the pleasure and...

Now for something a little different...

Introducing the 2015 Indian Scout...

They're quite different, yet the inspiration of the form can still be seen...
there is a subtle yet distinct nod...

+ 1
I agree with you, but I think it goes way further. Trev has taken a judicious amount of talent and skill and honed those skills to into a totally unique and original art-form.
I mean; is Trev...

:freaky

I've seen the build photos, so I know it's 'only' a model.... But....

Somehow this was one of the most confronting and offensive photo's I've ever seen...

Akin to seeing a brand new Porsche go...

+1 I don't know what's more enjoyable...

Watching this magnificent project come to life...

Or seeing and hearing how much fun he's having 'doing it'...

I kept looking for the next piccy of the grip...

I saw the raw materials... And I also saw the rubber grip you had 'found' to use as a 'sample' to model off... But.... where's the 'work in...

6 6 6 ..... The mark of 'The BEAST' :pan

Well Trevor, I haven't read the other thread and I don't intend to.
I'm a tradesman, builder and I complete my work to a very high craftsman standard... And I charge accordingly. You can see by my...

Just when I thought I'd seen all your tricks...

Well you just go and pull another curly one right outta your hat...

Very impressive... :clap :clap :clap

I'm lovin' what your doing...

But there's this little nagging voice inside my head that keeps askin'...

Wot's he done with those wheels???

Any news... Or.... are you planning a big surprise...

And you're without peer when it comes down to it...

Thanks for the insight to your design standard, the "Why" makes a lot more sense now...

I bet you and Dick Smith could come up with the...

You know Trev, a strip of 1.6mm Ally sheet and let's be generous and say a full day with an English Wheel, sack a sand and a froe... And you'd have yourself a damn fine mudguard... Hell, if it took 2...

I like the price tag.... Even at 2/3 scale that's still pretty decent... :eek!

Yes Trevor, I can recall way back at the start of this thread/build your one lamenting concern was 'the wheels'... They certainly are a component with influence...

I reckon Joe will come up with...

Hmmmmmm,

Those wheels.......

They leave me feeling like fingernails on a blackboard.....

Well actually more like seeing a car using it's 'space-saver' spare... Sure it fits and 'can' be...

Oooohhh.... I get it....

You've made an enlarged "Coke-can" so your Indian motorbike looks like it's built on a smaller scale....

Astonishing really... My eyes see it... But my brain don't...

Hate to be the one to throw the bucket of water....

But, the scale is totally inappropriate... It would dwarf your other creations...

Not to mention the fact it is just to realistic looking.......

Ever added up how much a smoker spends in a week, a month, a year, 10 years?
It adds up.
My wife is very particular about her coffee....
For us, this previously meant a 20 min return car trip to...

You know, that story about the operation of the liquid filled oil gauge was absolutely fascinating. I'd never heard of it before, although for some reason I have a clear picture in my mind of seeing...

I just use my Pharos.
20.3 grams in, 20.3 grams of pure fluffy heaven out....
I've also adopted the OE Slap-Shot method of dosing/tamping so there's not one little wasted grain....
Just coffee...

Congrats on the new machine...
The Carimali is a very capable commercial grade machine. I saw one for sale, just like this one on CS just recently...
You'll need a good grinder, to get the best...

The key to charging is to build value. Price is *very* elastic...

I had Mal Emery as a business coach for two years. I had the pleasure of watching him demonstrate this 'price elasticity' fact...

It has always looked good, but it's amazing how the detailing you're doing now really brings it 'to life'...

: thumb

It's such a pleasure to watch a genius at work......

Yeah, well said.

I'm also a builder with 30 something years experience and the last 15 or so specialising in Bathroom Reno's, so yeah I get exactly where you're coming from.

When I had a couple...

Not sure how much you've tried to buy online, but from your comments, not much.

Amex are lovely people to deal with, but they have VERY high merchant fees and can be slow paying the merchant for...

If you really want "the Best" jigsaw, you should really look at the Mafell P1 cc 900 watt 240 volt jigsaw.
If you're going to import from the UK, you may as well pay the little extra and get the...

The following is part of a post in a chisel forum, but I thought I'd share it here too... (Edited slightly)

I agree with your comment about the two cherries chisels. They are good value for money....

Hey @Boringgeoff,

Your story reminded me of fun times as a young bloke. Way back then my favorite shovel was a Plumbers 'Rigid' brand post hole shovel. It had an excellent shape for breaking...

Yes, that's them, the Harold & Saxon.

Oh My, now I need to kick myself twice as hard! I was offered a full set of the contractor's chisels for well, an amount that would seem 'unbelievable' now....

Last year I attended a trade open day at Lazarides Timbers, in Brisbane here.
As well as the usual culprits like Colen Clenton and Terry Gordon, (and a load of others) there was another guy who was...

A few months ago now I bought myself one of these Pica Dry Pencils.
I've been a builder for well over 30 years now and I admit to being a bit of a gadget addict- can't help myself really. I have to...

I see you doing it, the photos clearly show what you're doing, step, by step, yet I still cannot believe the finished painted part is merely MDF and Bondo...
Somehow, it takes on a life of its...

Cheers Trevor,
You've clearly got a pretty good grasp of manipulating pipe with heat. When you get the opportunity- think about piercing the pipe whilst hot and drawing it out- just another tool in...

A bit of a hint, if I may...
A common misconception with steaming timber is to think the 'moisture' is doing the work- actually, it is the heat...
The reason steam is used is that there is...

Stunning work, simply stunning.....

Hey Matt,

I've managed to post less than one post a year for every year I've been on here and today you've got two posts in one day. No idea wot that means- but it amused me.

Actually, I've...

Hey Matt,

I agree with Yowie. Why the slider? I've got both slider and fixed and frankly I grab the fixed most often.
It's a budget thing... If you've got heaps of money you can have all the...

David Payne has many designs and they vary from possibly the worlds smallest yacht tender to large commercial vessels. For the amateur he has a catagologue which includes kayaks, rowing boats such as...

There is of course another possibility:
It is quite possible the sound is simply being 'carried' along the pipework from a source totally unrelated to 'water hammer', as such. If you get along well...

There is no need for confusion here.
If there is a leak then the meter *will* be turning. If the meter is not moving- as you said it wasn't- then there is no leak- simple.

Mick's right: DO NOT use a compression fitting in the wall, if it is not openly accessable.

Try not to disturb the brickwork- you shouldn't need to.
If you have access to the gas torches and KNOW...
