Smile

below shows the pins cut to their required lenghts (made out of aluminium). the pins being turned down on the lathe. the frame and the brackets welding together although they need to be cleaned up but that will come at the end stages of the project. the diameter of the aluminium pins is 6mm and the bars that are made from steel are to be turned down to 10mm but i might be manufacuring them out of titinium.
these are the only pictures i can upload now as i have to crop all of my pictures from my iphone so that they can be posted here, will update soon thanks for all the intrest.
