I don’t have any took inductions in the metal shop but I am also interested in making racks / basket mounts and maybe some hand beaten mini mudguards (Clandestine Cycles has made a few which look great).
No welding / metal skills to offer but keen to see the project. I have a front rack with a fence and I’m super glad to have the fence, makes it a lot easier to just chuck something on
No, we don’t. SMEE may have one.
What material we’re talking about and what pipe/wall thickness? Video is about stainless, but even there you may just bend it with your hands or use some hardwood/ply circle as a template. Also a reminder we cannot weld aluminium atm.
Good plan.
Get the right tubing. They seem to use 0.8mm thin walled 25CrMo4.
You’ll also need to learn about tube mitering (frame builder terminology) or tube notching (general metalwork term).
