cool stuff luke, didnt know they had electric trolling motors back then. thanks for sharing.

*Luke*, that is NOT a trolling motor. That's one of those aliens that live in your stomach and then come bursting out when they're old enough to drive.

The only way to get rid of it is to wrap it up in aluminum foil and send it to Cookees. He'll then let it take over his computer. Hurry, there's very little time left! Rich

the motor is cool, but tell us more about the helicopter!! google revealed... nothing

[LUKE]

ha ha ha,,that was cute rich!!

...and bob,,it's just a replica, i made it out of junk parts from swing pipes/iron buoy/ the propeller is from a 1950's ultra light helicopter(solid fiber glass).,,the motor you see is from a broken lawnmower./the electric motor on top is from a garage door opener....since i had my cheap welder,i've been doing crazy things..LOL

[LUKE]

alright!..here's my other quick project, did it this morning for 2 1/2 hours, thanks to my 40buck portable band saw and my other power tools...

here's the thing in action/ powered by my $3 12rpm electric motor.,,i knew i'm gonna use it for something. ...the engine is from an old non working 4 stroke lawn mower. planning to put some light inside it. or make a night lamp out of it...or just simply a decoration in my working area.


more projects to come!!!!....these are the petty things i love doing,, been working for 22years straight, i have got to do my passion NOW, i don't wanna wait till 65 when i can't do it and i don't have the interest anymore..lol
..oh i love my power tools!!! can't do it without them..

and another bigger tear down...
