Hello

First I must say congrats to the producers of this forum and its members, wow some of the projects on here are amazing.

I  hire a workshop in macclesfield where I do all my hobby stuff, it started 3 years ago with a project to make carbon fiber coffe cups and my attempts kept failing one after the other, but I kept going and now I have collected lots of equipment to complete my first project (all composite gear, lathe & mill, heat cupboards, spray painting etc). 
The cup still isnt finished but its very close, ive had to invent my own techniques to produce a shinny smooth finish on all sides, a perfectly captured CF fabric with No bubbles.

The engineering equipment comes in very handy with composites, I make my own brackets and screw components that I epoxy into the  final products that I make for my superbike, it looks very clean and tidy.  

Tonight I was working on my Gyro Cam project, its a shark fin that comes off the rear of the bike at 45 degrees, then a gyro/servo holds a carbon poll with a mini HD camera at the end of it.  The images will show me riding the bike and where its going but the horrizon will remain flat even when I throw the bike left or right into turns.  I can't wait to see what the images turn out like.

Im self taught with everything through forums and youtube, but id like to offer an open invitation to anyone who wishes to visit, it would be nice possible share a project for a change Smile



Regards

Mr Rooty Tooty - Yeah mate thats why I asked what you were into, im not an expert either but that wont put me off Rolleyes

How far away are you from macclesfield?

Ive been considering taking on a cf monocoque rear end for my bike, but one which incorporates a thin tail light and accept the stock seat.


Here is my latest project, its a gyro cam like motogp use but higher up and further back, the result will be an image that looks down on the rider and forwards allong the road.  I expect the images will look great when I hang off the bike for a corner.
