I've binged on a bunch of your videos in the last few weeks and remain amazed at the level or precision/perfection you push for regardless of what you're working at. I thought my OCD was well developed but it pales in comparison to yours😉
@ThrottleStopGarage2 жыл бұрын
I should do a video on this topic...though I don't know what I'd call it. It's not really OCD - but doing things with precision relaxes me and really takes no more time than being more haphazard. For example, when the adjuster came in last week from being powder coated...it just falls back into place without any drama. I watch other builds on YT and while we all make mistakes, you can just see where it's not going to last or where a problem will crop up. The number of times I see people drilling holes in freshly painted bodywork...yikes.

just me being lazy, you put a lot of work into your adjuster, and i thought that most of the work is already done with an acro prop and all that would be needed is the lower anvil holder to fit in the slot made for the acro top pipe, i recon all an English wheel needs to work is just have adjustable pressure from above and below the anvil wheels and of course be in alignment with no excess movement. anyway I'm going to give it a go coz i am poor and cant afford the price of a new one,
