So the videos were of no use, but practice practice practice paid off - that anda little help from my friends at chapter 174. Using the right size rod reallymakes a difference. 1/16" seems to work well. Most important it turns out is"normalizing". The weld must be allowed to cool and then be gently heated toa dull red.thanks all--------Dan ORead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: off topic 1920's project book

This is WAY off topic, and an extreme long shot at best, but I figure if any grouphas an understanding of 1920's diy, it is the Pietenpol gang. I got a bookfrom my dad when I was a kid, it was his in the late 20's or early 30's, butit looks to be printed in the 20's.It never had a cover since I got it in 1977, but this book is the foundation ofmy interest in building and flight. There were several patterns for model aircraftI built many copies of. Even though the book was written 4 decades priorto my being born, I developed a strong bond and appreciation for the ingenuityof my fathers generation. I had never heard of Bernard Pietenpol while lookingat this book in the 1970's, but now can appreciate that he and this book representthe "stuff" that created the greatest generation our nation has ever seen(in my opinion)Does anyone recognize any of the attached photos? I have seen similar books publishedunder "The Boy Mechanic" series, but none appear to be my dad's childhoodbook. It would mean thecworld to me to finally see this book in it's entirety.--------Jon JonesIronton, MORead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/1459 ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: off topic 1920's project book

I haven't had a chance to do a lot of research on this yet, but so far I haven'tfound anything yet.Anyway, I was looking at the master cylinder for my son's crf 450 Honda dirt bike,and boy it sure looks like something a person could make toe brakes out ofby mounting to the diagonals, similar to how many have done, just in this casethe master cylinder would be mounted stationary instead of having a pivot mounton the end. Anyone ever tried this?--------Jon JonesIronton, MORead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/2016 ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: off topic 1920's project book

Hi Jon,It appears you may have some iteration of "Every Boy's Hobby Annual". This sitehas a number of articles scanned in from various yearly publications of the Annual:http://www.easybuiltmodels.com/nostalgia.htmThis article from the 1928 issue in particular matches--at least in basic content--thepictures you posted:http://www.easybuiltmodels.com/spSimple ... nes.pdfThe layout does not match, however. My guess would be that this article was publishedin more than one issue of the Annual--maybe not every year, but reusedmultiple times at least. In my searching I am seeing issues from 1927 - 1936;unfortunately I'm not finding specific information to indicate which year yourcopy may be from. I don't really have any more information about this publication beyond what isprovided on the website above--this is my first encounter with it. I presume thiswas a UK publication; when searching for issues on Abebooks, an online bookseller,41 out of 55 copies for sale are from UK vendors.Hope that helps,-RyanRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
