Xmas Adventure Part II

After my ride, Jen, my Dad and myself went over to his friend's Richards house to do some work on my bike. Richard has a shop in his basement where he builds streetrods, so he's got all kinds of tools. The task at hand was taking a Shimano DX cog and drilling some holes in it to bolt on a wheel as a fixed cog. The first task was grinding off the hardened chrome coating, so we could drill the cog.

The second task was making a jig to match up the holes on a disk rotor to the holes we were going to drill in the cog. To do this we took a piece of aluminum stock and milled it down for the rotor and cog to fit next to each other.

Meanwhile Jen ("that girl") went to work on Richard's computer and network. They were having some issues, so while we were milling she was fixing.

We finished the jig, but ran out of time. I decided to leave the parts with my dad and Richard. He could finish it the next time he was over Richards, then mail the parts to me.
