omg... this is amaazing work - well done! oh, and using a bolt as a lathe tool - i'll have to try that....
Hey, awesome work. I'm sorry if this has been addressed already...how might I go about acquiring some of the fruits of your labor?
Your work is so incredibly amazing my face keeps going each time there's another update! Nuff said I think
wow those propelers and the bending jig... how do you think of that? are you just sitting there, and like BOOM! and think of this? i can't do that.... and btw, i love seeing you have so much fun with this!
Thanks guyz! The sFX reservoirs are finished! Now all I have to do is the aluminum work! Oh I have to finish darthbeavis's two dual res's too but thats easy. They look great! THE BEST I HAVE MADE SO FAR!!!! Pics later. Must sleep.
By emailing me but as of right now I cant take on anything new. I have to much other stuff that I have to get done. I'll post when I'm ready to take on something new.
Grab a freah pair of panties fella's because your going to need em when you see this!!!!!! Nov-04-2007 Final product. The prop has it's own little shaft that is keyed. This is so the prop is separate from the sFX. I did this because just in case one fo you knuckle heads should break the prop, you will only have to replace the prop. Plus you can buy the prop when you start making your own Cool? I'm sure you know how the keys work,... the end of the sFX shaft will be keyed too. Them fit together and wham,... one spinning piece. Ok. Now I know I said I was going to mount these sFX's the old way but you know me! Once I have my heart set on something I have to do it! So here it is! The new way! Remember these? This time I only have a 9/64" holes drilled through them. This is the hole size I use to slide a 6-32 bolt through for turn cutting. Now im going to use my VERY helpful cross slide vise to drill them again, this time with a 1/8 bit. Whalaa,... Very nice,.... Some posts,... they have to be 2" max. Going to mill them. Like so,... Perfect. Rounded and polished the ends. Slide through and glue. After they cure I drill out the 9/64" holes to 1/4". The 9/64 acts like a pilot holes for the larger 1/4". You really do not want to drill to 1/4" and then dril out the center of the 1/4" again because if your off by even a bit the second time,... its no longer 1/4". It might not fit on the shaft the way it's suppose to. You get me? Now,... her's the part that had me s@#$ing my pants. literally. Sweaty palms. I have to drill the sFX's. They have to be the same though. if even one hole is off a bit,... it wont mount. I'll have to make it again. SO,... i need a system of doing this. So,.. this pipe is the same diameter I used to make the sFX's. Im goign to drill a 1/8" hole right through it. Has to be dead center. You dont want this to be off because your sFX will be crooked. Prepping,... i got my LED light shinning through the holes to better align the sFX dead center. The light is where the bit is going. It was hard to see the hole in the pipe through the tinted sFX. Cool ehh? Lets see how I do! Nailed it! OMG thats cool! Damn. Just damn. Together. Done. Qhs. DarthBeavis. Qhs. Top. Bottom. DarthBeavis. Bottom. Top. Here's the eye candy,... Qhs. Something is wrong with my UV's,... one of them burnt out and the others seem dim,... I'm thinking that I am running them to hot. I have to make another one. This one is just so,... breath taking. Ho shiat. DarthBeavis's,... Now,... time to close up Darth's two dual res's. After this it will be time for the aluminum work. I have to test these res's out first. Video later on. WHAT YOU GUY THINK!!!! Hot right!!! I feel sorry for anyone going up against these at any contests!!! MUH HA HA HA!!!!
Fresh pair of panties is right, bro. This one really caught my eye. And the real kicker is that it looks like it wouldn't impact flow at all!
