I have a rule I go by. That rule is question everything. If I can offer a piece of tech advise, that in my opinion is the best. It would be that. If something you read, see, or hear doesn't make sense to you, question it. It doesn't matter who or what company it comes from. And until they...

A cool little trick for sharpening your tungsten consistently, is to chuck the tungsten in your cordless drill and spin it while sharpening it against the bench grinder. It will give you a "machined" point every time. Remember to sharpen with the grain though. Tracy

I posted this on KB. This is a 29 A that my son and myself are going to do together. We are going to do our own thing. Not really rat, not really hot rod. Pie crust tires, magnesium wheels, custom chassis, etc. I'll give more details as the build goes. Tracy

Hello everyone. Thanks for the invite to "move'in on up"! It looks like everyone here knows each other, but if anyone needs to "get to know", just ask away. I'll do the same. I'll try to figure out what permanent pic to post with my name. Can anyone point me in a direction to a post of how...
