Wow, you do a great job of both fabricating and taking pictures. That seems to be a hard combo to nail. Thanks for sharing your pictures/process.

That is some impressive work you are doing. I think one of those bantams needs to end up in my garage.

Hello Lariat,

YOU HAVE THE SKILLS !!!!!!!!!!

It looks like a Bantam factory assembly line come back to life :D :D :D :D :D

Thanks so much for keeping the dream alive, and bringing bantams back to life with your good works !!
Very impressive production, I wonder if you can make frames as well, basically a complete Bantam starter kit ?

Best Regards.

Thank you for the kind compliment Nikolay. I'm sorry to say at this time I'm not taking on any work. I would be happy to sell you the steel molding you need to make frames if that will help you. I need to finish up a couple of projects I have promised my friends.
Thanks
Jim
