youll be asking me next what a paddy skate board is wont you 

[william127]

whats a paddy skate board?

[martyn]

large two stroke disc cutter they use them to cut thro  tarmacadam, paving slabs etc you have see them at road works or building sites 20 inch diamond encrusted blade goes thro just about any thing in this part of the world they call them paddy skate boards as they are usually used on road works you have to put your foot on them to start it while you pull the startcord and as many of the workers are Irish  hence paddy skate board

[william127]

[boss]

very nice mike. but you haveto take into account that im a 45 minuite drive away from the disco, im working by my self, im not in a fully prepped workshop and most of the parts i need are not off the shelf parts. so yah progress is slow but i can deal with that if i have a better result at the end.

[topless matt]

You tell him boss.
But seriously well done mike

[martyn]

well mike it looks awsome really good but just giving us photos is not enough you know we want more what eng ,box  etc 
 
if im being super critical the only bit i would change is the rock slider at the aft end i would have bent it to join to the angle tube coming down as i say if i was being super critical it is far better than i have ever owned so dont get cross just an obsevation

[boss]

rear axle is now done and steerer and ready to bolt on. ordering some pinion conversions at the end of the week(payday ) just while he still has some cheap.
and might be picking up my die next week.

[martyn]

dont be get down its just that everyone is interested and wants to see it finished but unfortunatly you have time and monetary constraints
we'r impatient thats human nature

[auf_wiedersehen_pet]

lack of input and intrest

Not from me Boss - can't wait to see it finished.

 

[boss]

[Xtremeteam]

ahem....... bluepoint dont carry the same warrenty as snap-on, they offer 50% of the replacment cost if you upgrade to snap-on

bluepoint is the budget range of snap-on
