pedal cars
I see where people making pedal cars bend the crank from solid. Now if you get two sets of bicycle cranks and set them up on a single piece of solid rod and grind where the cotter pins go, then the pedal can be set up. Drilling out the threads and sliding threw a suitable rod and weld this in place putting in the pedal tread before welding. when the whole thing is together cut the main axil to make the crankshaft,Just like a car crankshaft but not as heavy. The big ends are where the pedal treads go. There can be three main bearings but I think two would be enough. This should run true to a couple of thou. I will make one and show pictures as time permits. If you have trouble post a comment and I will get back to you.

This is what you get when you have an ignorant prime minister
Whatever happened to “Charity begins at Home”?
Disgraceful - Gillard & Gov - shame on you!
I see our beloved Prime Minister in all her generosity is going to, wait for it, give a $25,000 interest free loan to those unfortunate AUSTRALIAN CITIZENS affected by the floods in Queensland plus, wait for it, a whole $1,000 for every affected adult & $400 for every child of said family. Oh we are not worthy!!
Is this act of unrivalled generosity towards her fellow Aussies supposed to make me all warm and fuzzy??? Well, the fact any of these poor unfortunate souls is getting a little help makes me feel glad for them, for they deserve every cent, but when compared to what our gracious leader shell’s-out abroad, well it fucking stinks of mean spirited pettifogging, and tells volumes of her respect for those over whom she governs.
Have a go at what this self-centred egocentric WOMAN has given away to other countries - this is OUR money mind you, pissed up against the wall when we can’t get waiting times down on hospital beds, infrastructure built to service our mineral exports, a better road system, or any decent flood relief to our own citizens
Look where YOUR MONEY is being spent:
Gillard pledges $500M to Indonesia for Islamic schools – YES $500,000,000 !!!!!

Gillard promises $160M to Vietnam for new bridge.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/
Gillard offers $45M to aid Indonesia for climate change.

send it on …
“The only true wilderness Is between the ears of a Green and the inside of the head of the Australian prime minister”
Come on Pauline Hanson step up to the plate again.

MHO Overseas Aid is one of the best ways for politicians to funnel money into their own bank accounts this often takes the form of a kickback...Thats probably why they are so keen on it
After all if anybody audits it later you can aways say it was misappropriated by the recipients...Just like a big charity .OPPS I shouldn't have said that...

TV
Well I watched an hour of TV this morning on the big new telly. Now I spent a grand on the telly so I have to get my moneys worth, but did I? No I paid all that money to watch 51 adds in one hour. Not a good return on my money. I would be better off with a little telly the size of my laptop and have it on my knees for about $200 . This big telly is huge and takes up half of the wall on the other side of the room. If I sit in the lounge and put my laptop on front of the big telly at arms length the laptop covers the big telly and some. Boy wasn't I fooled into buying the giant screen. Turns out that I can watch the telly on the laptop, So much for the mcmansions and all the cost associated with them. I now know why my mum used to get us to go outside and enjoy the open spaces. Have you been conned like me and watching that amount of TV destroys the time on the hobbies of life. Anyone want to buy a large TV? Now that time adds up to 7 hours a week. What could I do with that 7 hours. eg. drive to Broken Hill from here or even Melbourne and still have change in my pocket. Or I could get on a plane an fly any where in the world, or fill the fuel tanks in the drug sub and be ready to go a good part of the way round Australia. Aren't we fools.
