Are you planning to round the top and bottoms of the handles?

2nd coat of sanding sealer is on :singing:
My local bike shop couldn't get clear gel grip tape but I have had a better idea and I to will keep it a secret feature :frog:

I kept all the holes as small as I could and eased the squared off ends some I wish i could get them in the lathe I would put a ball on each end :wow:

Next set, lathe them, then bend them. I want a lathe....

getten closer 1st coat of varnish is on

nice and shiny I plan on dieing the leads to match the hard wood accent strip but that can wait till Monday

Very purdy buddy.

Hey Silver,
Sorry I have been out of town and busy... I did come across some handlebar tape that was clear but it wasn't gel, but a cork substance and the brand slips my mind... if I can figure it out I'll let you know 4 sure... as far as incorporating my secret feature, you are on track... your handles will work just fine... also my kevlar is 3mm I believe... used for spear gun tether line... so far it's proven bullet proof but not dog proof

By the way, them are some classy looking handles... Great job...
Question; are those dots on the sides holes? or plugs of some sort or is that part of the secret? shhhhhh...

the holes are fore the knot in the handle lines.

all finished ---------------- mostly ----------------



close up of the padded leather grips :wow: If had to cover some of it up I mite as well do it in style


I may do some test flights with the pepper since Nick/NPWfever Is STILL working on The Silver Eagle

They turned out pretty decent I think

Hey man, believe me I feel bad I haven't gotten that out yet, the place the fabric store orders from went out of bussiness, so they need to find a new supplier, I've been looking for an alternative but this is the only place that sells ripstop I can find, all the rest just sell cheerleader nylon, if it gets even a pinhole, the entire thing can tear in half. If anyone has any fabric they can drop let me know.

And again sorry sillvereagle!

Its no big deal I,m jest messen with you:smug:

hey ,NPW have you tried goodwinds kites. they have all kinds of kite building supplies.
