Not metal but Wifey and I trimmed an out of control tree in garden. Lock down exercise. Lots of twigs and twiglets all cut into short pieces and stuffed into 9 assorted size bags. Can't take to the tip, even if it was open, non essential travel. Not to worry though, I have a plan.
Not quite a Tot Rod but a Black Hood Wheel Horse look a like, sort of. Based on a Pride Celebrity scooter bought cheap as a non runner. Info said 6.25 MPH. Larger rear wheels make it faster. Steering wheel in place of the tiller with a dummy V twin engine to hide the scooter steering column. Chain and sprockets from column to wheel. 2 x 12 volt 75 amp battery's so should give a good run. Still needs decals. Only had short test run so far. Photo's of Grand daughter having a play. She loved it.
Very nice timtim. A good job so far. Totally different brass plate to mine. Not had a good look yet but there is a bit of play at the spindle bearings. I guess the spindle just runs in cast iron. Either this or the spindle or both are worn. Mine also missing two handles which should be easy to make. Still need to finish my Drummond Round Bed which has been put on the back burner. Too much to do.
