I'll have to check them out.

I've always thought a true innovator was one whose mind wasn't cluttered up by what someone else has done.

My father never finished the 8th grade. He also designed and built an adjustable wide front end on a Fordson tractor before the manufacturers ever thought of making them adjustable.

Back when a two row lister was standard for planting corn, he designed and built a four row go-dig that would follow the inevitable variations in row widths on the lister ridges.

The interesting part was, as much equipment as he built, and as much as he loved working with metal and machinery, everything he made was either bolted or riveted together. He never showed the slightest interest in learning to weld.

DR SPORTSTER- I've got a book I want to send you if you'll promise to send it back when you're done- it was given to me by my daddy when I was about 13, called "Building and Racing my 750". Written by a guy who competed against Colin Chapman when Lotus was first starting, racing in a class called Formula 750 based on 30s-era Austins- the equivelent of Model As over here, i guess.
In the book, the author (who had no prior mechanical skills) builds this little racer. he bends tubing by filling it with sand, caping the ends, and heating it, then uncapping and emptying. Forms his own aluminum body and GAS WELDS it together using slivers of the body metal as rod...solders washers to his wiring so he could screw it to wire blocks neatly. Converts splash lubed engines into pressurized lube. The guy was a real pioneer, and the car was really pretty. It's the book that turned me on to wanting to build my own stuff- I think you'd get a kick out of it.

Hi Jose,

Back when I was a pup at Coors, one of my partners was from Venzuwala(sp) and he carried a 10ft x 1x2 for a tape measure. I can say that he never made a length mistake on a cut. He didn't speak alot of english so he was pretty hard to talk with.

One thing he told me about was bending large diameter pipe using the sand method you mention. He said pipe fittings were almost non-existant there at that time. He stated they would use another piece of pipe to bend around to control the inside radius. He said it bent very smooth on the outside skin.

Makes me wonder just how much steam pressure was in the pipe when they made the bend.
