Hi there
« on: March 15, 2011, 03:14:24 PM »
 Hi

I am new to the site and am into motorcycles and currently have a modded Honda Blackbird and rough CB500 work hack. I want to get into some light fabricating  type of stuff like making wheel spacers brake brackets etc. I don't own any engineering machines yet but want to look at getting a small set up. I'll try not to ask too many stupid questions!!

Thanks all. I have around £1000 for starters. A double car garage but not masses of room as it has 2 bikes and a gym in it. Parts I want to make are probably no more than 30 mm thickness and 200x200 mm maybe a little bigger once I get into it.
