I knew you had to have a planishing hammer and metal brake of some sort as well. Nice shop. Rick C.

 

[58er]

Thank you.....

Nice Tools! I like homemade and improved tools. With the right mods that HF English wheel can do some decent work also.

Here is mine, and a couple of fenders I made with it.

My homebuilt planishing hammer. The HF ones were so lame I didn't even bother and just built it from scratch. Those descaling guns have quite a bit of power.

I also built a deep throat shrinker as I am going to try building my own gas tank.

I am intrigued about the concept of a "deep throat shrinker", but am scared to ask.

 

[58er]

Very cool!......

 

[58er]

what model de-scaling gun?

 

[RickS]

Grizzly. They used to sell a hammer that used the same one, and they make an upper die that fits on it. I also bought the lower dies from them. I haven't used it much, as I like the English Wheel better.

 

[58er]

just looked, they must not sell it anymore.....looking for a better one than i have now.

Wow, nice build!

What engine is that?

 

[58er]

It's a 79cc harbor freight motor with a little camo on it

Really nice build 58, always nice to see top notch parts (Sportsman Flyer) being used. Keep up the good work!!!

 

[58er]

Thanks. sorry for delayed response- busy with non moto-bike related distractions.

 

[sportscarpat]

Yeah, this is definitely a cool build! I really get a kick out of seeing people building out Flyers from the component kits. It gets more bikes out there and I get to see the results.

Being a former electrician, I must say that I get a Kick out of the repurposing of the sheathing from some metal clad wire.

 

[58er]

I know it's great. I'm an electrician as well.
The "58" in the name "58er" comes from IBEW local 58 which is the union I belong to in Detroit.
Thanks.
