What to build, oh, what to build

Think I can make something of all this mahagony??? A local AKer gave this to me for a project. I won't mention him by name as "I think" he wants it that way, but to him I say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Redboy: remember what I told you???

Another piece of the puzzle falls into place, but I still don't see the big picture...

Gotta say, it's shaping up to be a very nice puzzle! :yes:

Cool wood, Dennis!

Forget the mahogany!!! Tell me about the yellow 2-wheeled thingy underneath...:thmbsp:

Hmmm... looks like old foundry patterns to me!

Could make some nice plinths and amplifier bases I'd say.

I might be thinking of someone else, but for some reason I think that motorcycle has a forklift motor in it.

That's gotta be, what, inch and a quarter thick butcher block? Nice. Very stable. Imagine the possibilities for speakers, as well as the aforementioned component cabinets and plinths.

A boat load of plinths!! maybe some nice cutting boards, can't recommend butcher block anything for building speakers though :no:

Maybe you could build a containment shield for the silver kryptonite container strapped to the side of the bike....:scratch2:...or is that just nitrious oxide... :banana:

That is my industral motor bike. I built it back in 2002.

Yep, it is a Continential Y112 from a forklift. Also, it was the very first engine used in the first prototype Jeep. They made 20 or so Jeeps with that motor for the Army to try out and the resounding responce was....not enough power. So they came up with the Y164 and the Y112 went into production for industral applications.

It is 2" stacked mahogony. Heavy as hell and very stable.

Those are the reservors (sp) for the hydrostatic transmission.

My second guess would have been the oilres for a dry sump...but if that was my brothers bike, it would be a carbonated beverage tank for his home brew...:scratch2:

I'd make wood chips. Oh, and a set of those Yuichi horns you know you want :yes:

Last time I saw that much wood it was a butchers block!!
How is your kitchen stocked for a cutting table? maybe throw a 16" in the bottom of it and have a real rocking butchers table!!!!!!!

Yep, they do look like foundry patterns. If so then be sure to clean them off very thoroughly. I used to sort, inventory, and stock those things. Sometimes they had a silver powder on them that was somewhat toxic / irritating.

All the ones I remember were some kind of hard wood mounted to plywood....

It seems there is a waxy substance on them. I will do a light sanding with an orbital and 220 grit. I can hook my orbital up to my shop vac and I also have a professional reperator that I will use.....thanks for the heads-up.
