Mannulus Mechanica (build thread)

Man a 3D printer would be nice. I’m always trying to talk to my boss into getting a cnc plasma
He made me nice little bit holder for my dremel bits. Working with a bunch of automation/robotics techs has its advantages. I loan him tools when he needs them and occasionally wrench/fab on his trailer and he prints me stuff.

Yeah I need those kinds of friends haha. I usually end up fixing the neighbor’s trailers or log splitters for free. I’m really liking the way the Harley kick starter looks on there.

I do lots of other stuff for folks for free too, It's nice when someone returns the favor. Honestly I don't really mind it most times. The HD kicker arm is a shallow offset crank arm from an early ratchet top 4spd (panhead I think) the spool on the kicker is a drilled WL factory racer style. @Beags64 machined the factory XS kicker shaft down to a square to accept the HD crank arm.
 
You missed your calling, you should’ve been a welder by the looks of those welds! Very nice! :geek:
Thanks @Mailman, I didn’t totally miss it. I ran the fab shop at ACB2 when I was in the Navy and then did a lot of fab and SS process pipe welding when I got out. I’d have made much prettier welds in those days when I was doing it every day though. I’m grateful to not be sucking welding fumes anymore, that’s a one way ticket to COPD. I’ve been watching my dad (union pipefitter & rail car fabricator) struggling to breathe for several years now. I love welding, as a hobby…
 
Since I have most of my electronic components I thought I’d start working on my electronic box. Made a hinged backplane and started mounting stuff to it. Also welded some studs on my battery box for my reg/rec.
