Title: Weird Projects
Post by: Recklessrob on July 28 2006, 09:32:06 PM: I know that at some point, I mentioned this project to a couple
of you guys. I had never seen one, so I decided to make one.
A tandem BMX bike !
With my boss (riding bitch) and I, it supported 446#'s ! :rofl;
The pic is low res (taken with a camera phone).
7 1/2 feet end to end.

What kinda stuff have you guys and gals made ?

We're trying to make chopper/trike things out of old Honda 3 wheelers, no real progress, just a couple of drunken dreams.

I did that with PVC pipe, but I used oxygen and acetylene. It sent the taters completely out of sight ! A freind of mine made one
that he was using hairspray for a propellant in. I suggested that he try the oxy/acetylene mix. Bad idea ! It exploded on him. He didn't make his as good as mine. He was picking plastic shards form his pant leg.

Phil, I don't recommend making a "zip" gun, especially
where you live. That is unless you want to switch from playing "tight end" to "wide reciever". :rofl;

I can't really think of anything cool I've made, but there is nothing like the feeling of a good rig job. I like pulling some McGyver shit and gettin' things working again.

I've always wanted to burn some modern art with the welder, but I want to get a plasma cutter and a TIG first.

It's only steel that I mig welded together. I don't know how to tig yet.
I tried a plasma cutter out while working on the race car. At first all I
did was mess up the nozzle/tip. But after I got the hang of it, I got fairly good with it.

Brian, the rear section was a Huffy, and the front was a Mongoose.
