Lockdown recipe.
Ingredients: 3/16 " diameter and 1/2 " Diameter, Bright mild steel bar.
Pipe bender.
2.5 % Silicon bronze brazing rods.
Oxy/Acetylene bottles.
Lathe.
Hacksaw.
Files.
Emery cloth.
Patience.
Time.
Method: Cut and bend bar to make L/H and R/H frame tubes.
Cut and fit cross members.
Clamp and braze everything together.
Machine Headstock in lathe.
File bars, so that Headstock is a good fit.
Clean up with emery cloth.
Follow these instructions and after a fortnight, or so, you should end up with a mini, Norton Wideline Featherbed frame.
This one that I made, during the coronavirus lockdown, is a bit wobbly, in places and not that accurate, but it kept me occupied for a while.
It measures about 7 and 1/2" long and 4 " high.
