And the secret project starts to look like something
Something like two months of designing, and now a few days in the shop spaced over two weeks, has finally produced something that might eventually end up being something.
In the last image, you can clearly see a lesson I learned at the left. It is very important when using a cutoff saw that flings little bits of hot metal out the back to make sure you don't have your rolled-up, flammable project plans behind the saw. :D
Unfortunately work isn't progressing very quickly, since Bill (yes, my co-conspirator's name is also Bill) works weekdays and I work weekday evenings, and we have to shedule weekends around his second job and my gaming groups. I figure two more weeks if things keep on as they are before this contraption will be ridable.
