I too use my micrometer like that; works like a charm. 🤣🤣 Love this Penny Farthing contraption.
The fine thread on the machinists clamp allows it to to clamp extra tight. Good job! 😆 You come up with some interesting ideas, good fun video 👍

Yeh, a mate gave me one of those clamps and said it was good for measuring things to, but the thing I measured, it was no were big enough, so now I use to open my TUI quart bottles, works great!! My misses said it did not have to be down to the nearest millimetre, I said I've been an inch out before and you did not like that!!

I'm glad you added the seat. I was gonna suggest a fender so that when your feet slip off the pegs your nuts don't get sucked between the forks and ripped off. I've read that those powered unicycles are a lot easier to ride because of the suspended foot platforms. It supposedly makes it easier to maintain your center of gravity just slightly in front of the axle. That and they have a gyroscope I believe. Imagine how much fun a portable dirtbike unicycle would be? You can throw a couple in the trunk or the back of a ute and go trail riding with a friend. I look forward to you mastering this

I think the balance point it too small, kinda like doing a wheelie on a 450 is really easy but it is difficult on a kids bike . A gyroscope would be cool

Are you using a Tig torch for welding with welding rods?? And if so can you explain how you do????
@DktheWelder
Жыл бұрын
You can but a 2.5mm welding rod into a 2.4mm collet saves swapping leads all the time plus you get the high frequency start
Sad to see that the Lorax scooter is not possible to ride

What was the stick in the tig torch? never seen that before?
@DktheWelder

A 2.5 mm welding rod fits in the 2.4mm collet so you don’t have to swap leads and you get the high frequency start which is really good
