Side Stand

	Here's a view of the first level clean up. Still a lot of work to do. There is a little undercut by the spring that I tried to bridge before, but know I decide to grind the undercut way deep so I can get a stick in there to weld the actual pad.
	Keep cooling off the parts. Burnt fingers are a real drag. You will be reminded of your stupidity for weeks to come every time you use your hands which is about 16 hours a day for most people.
	Now I really got medieval on this thing. You can see where I ground the undercut way way deep by the spring so I can get in with the stick welder. Also notice the bevels on all the three sides that I will be able to reach with the engine still in the frame. I kept think of Phil as I did this. Phil was the guy whose dad used to say: "Everybody wants to BE somebody. Nobody wants to BECOME somebody." Smart guy, Phil's dad. I am trying to become a welder. I don't know if I'll ever be one after four tries at this job.

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.
