Progressions

The unit is finally looking more like a workshop rather than an empty space with an open plan toilet. There has been a lot to do to get it this far. As well as building a work bench i've also upgraded the security, built a stand for the frame jig and also the frame jig its self. Now all i have to do is build the motorbike! (the camera is on top of the stand and jig so you can't see them).  



I am using the 3D modelling software Solidworks to model up all my designs for the workshop. I use the models to give me dimensional details of the design. Below is a picture of the frame in the jig with the engine mounted.


and the real thing ...




The frame is not far off being finished now. A few more supports here and there and it will be ready for engine prep :D
