There are some really skilful folks out!  The first bit reminded me of the limerick 'There was a man called Green who invented a walking machine'. Might not have the speeling just right there!
Ah! Me mis-spent youth!

Wow, couldn’t help notice the pile of cranks in the background. Wonder if that was the unrepairable stuff😳

When Ford bought out Jaguar they were looking at the V12 Crankshafts being machined in the Jag factory. By the side of the Grinding Machine were skips containing Crankshafts......quite a few of them. "What are these Cranks" ? was the question......"Oh....these are scrap" !!!!!!!

Amazing how that bloke does what he does.....even more amazing that he's still got both hands and all his fingers (and toes) !
Now: 2008 CB1300S, CB750K4, 1970 Bonneville. Various other 1960's 650 Triumph T120's/ TR6's/ TR6C's (all in bits...many, many bits unfortunately). Previous: 2007 CB600FA, 1976 CB500 Four. BMW F800ST. GS750E. ZZR1100. CB1300 (2). ZXR1200S. VFR800. CB750 Nighthawk. CX500. XS500 Yam. Suzuki GT500. BSA A10. Various Lambrettas. Zundapp Bella (honest).

Enjoyed that while having a cuppa in bed while the minus was scanning Facebook - the joys of retirement aye!
