About time to cool off the cadmium fumes.  Don't just set it down knowing it will cool off eventually.  You will forget and pick it up guaranteed and burn the living daylights out of your hand.  Cool it off right away and that's one less time bomb you have ticking around your work area.
Time for the right angled grinder, shown here with the two essential accessories.  There is nothing more punk then some moron that thinks risking his hearing and eyesight is somehow macho and admirable.  There are no blind and deaf alpha males.  Like cadmium poisoning, hearing loss is cumulative-- you don't need blood coming out your ears to damage them permanently.  I wear earplugs when I ride and I use muffs when I grind or shoot or make other loud noises.  I was using a 1/2 inch hand held belt sander on a 1954 straight leg frame.  I turned my head sideways to see as I cut some braze material from where somebody was filling the joints.  I was wearing safety glasses under goggles.  The goggles came a little off my nose and a chunk of steel went under them, bounced off my cheek and went under the safety glasses and into my eye.  I knew right away it was bad.  I tried to rub it out with a paper towel.  Ha ha .  Off to the clinic to have them grind it out of my cornea before it rusted.  Then a follow up to and ophthalmologist to grind out the last bit and get it perfect.  About 150 dollars but at least I can still see.  Use glasses.
OK, clean up the frame as best can be done with the engine still in.

Notes:

Authoring: This site is created with the free composer program that comes with Netscape.  We are using 4.7 since rev 6 will not start on our Win2k box.  (Some coincidence that the latest Microsoft OS breaks Netscape huh?)

Our Guarantee: No Frames, no Java, no Swift C, no cookies, no cascading style sheets, no dot net monopoly bully and no Active Server Pages.  Minimal graphics and no audio without request.  Most documents in this site are available on pdf format and those will have full graphics content.  We also make the source documents available whether Excel or Word or Autocad.  We believe engineering and technology are an art.  Free sharing and expression are more important than small-minded monopoly rent seeking.  Feel free to use the files and materials on this site.  Good luck with your projects.
