Default Found A Spark Plug and Built A Bike Around It...

Well maybe not quite but pretty close... This guy has some serious skills and equipment to work with. If hands on design and manufacturing interests you, take the time to have a look/read through this link.

Cheers

This guy not only has serious skills and equipment, he's got insane perseverance. That quality is really lacking in many people, myself included. When I do a project, I really get impatient the closer it gets to being done.

"Next, drill a bigger hole. Just make sure it's about .040 smaller than the size you're going to need. Don't have a giant drill bit? Well maybe your next door neighbor used to be a diesel mechanic. Go ask him. No? Then you remember you used to beat your son with a sock full of drill bits. Yep, there's one in there, and it's perfect. Clean off the blood and go to town. You're probably going to want to drill this under 200rpm."

This guy's how-to had me laughing obscenely on the can. The dude in the next stall asked me to email a link.
