Fats, Snow and New Lines

PORK
Finally finished up the Pork Fork. Some call it a Fat Fork-I prefer Pork. Whatever you want to call it, this one’s for snow duty. So far so good. Tons of fun and just plows through the white fluffy stuff. More on this in a bit. More here at the flickr site.

SNAKEDRIVER
Long time-Snakedriver V2 is finished up. Been building a fork jig so I can build an oversized fork with 135mm spacing to accept an endomorph mounted on a 50mm wide Uma rim from Speedway Cycles.
