Here is a quick video of a new machine I’m working on. This one uses a timing belt and wheel from a BMW as a rack and pinion gear set up.

It has taken me several visits there to learn to pace myself, and not grab everything in sight. The real challenge is hiking the mile back to the car with your loot. This time I showed restraint and only picked up one old wooden radio. The final image in this sequence shows an early concept of what I may do with it, though it is really too soon to tell.

My latest “found object” – 1981 Yamaha SR185 motorcycle. I’ve wanted to learn how to shape sheet metal from scratch for years now. I’ll be using this little bike as my excuse to finally get on it. Note my early attempt at a front fender. Gas tank etc. coming up next.
