So my little lad calls the bike a monster bike because of its ‘eyes’. He was talking as I was working and goes, “ I think it needs to blow smoke out of its mouth…”.

I couldn’t shake the idea tbh. I’m looking at entering a couple of shows this year and need that little extra to make it stand out.

There’s a vape and vacuum pump mounted into the chin scoop and a slimline button on the bars. Cost £40 and a couple of hours time.

It’s completely pointless but thought I’d share. My son thinks it’s amazing!

Hi, I’m having a garage change around, my previous bit of thrashing/welding bench was some 50mm angle section with a 10mm aluminium top.

I’ve been looking at a 6mm fabrication top with 16mm holes offset at 50mm for dropping jigs and dog clamps in. It’s supported by a cross section grid underneath. I guess I want to know are they worth it, will I use it as much as I think I might? I have a whole drawer of clamps and I don’t want to buy shiny stuff for the sake of it! Will it take some thrashing or are they more for technical set up and welding?

Generally I’m either framing in 40mm box section or doing 0.7-1.2mm panel work. I havnt got room for a separate panel bender so my plan is to weld up a bracket with lever to be able to bend against the side of the table.

If it doesn’t sound like I’ve got a clue what I want it’s because I havnt! I’m just stood in my slightly emptier garage with a beer trying to figure out the next addition.
