Very nice. A scooter Woodie! But, and you're all going to hate me, isn't it time to update that body style? I love old stuff as much as anyone but I think it's a little weird to just refuse to change. Look at the new Mustangs and some others. They look nice, they look classy, but they don't look like they were made 50 years ago. Every time I see that body style I think of an old washing machine. Aerodynamically, the front end looks like a brick wall. I sure do like the wood work though, especially the engine bay. Metal on wood is so sweet. |

Reminds me of the Chris Craft speed boats of the 40s and 50s.

I built custom cabinets, bars, and wine racks during the building boom here in Vegas back in the late 90s early 2000s. Both of those bikes are very impressive, and Carlos' interior work is absolutely beautiful! scooter, on of the reasons that style stays around is the added stability. The body shape itself helps to reinforce the frame and mitigate some of the flexing, curves are good at both supporting and acting as tension relief. |

Before my crippling accident I was head of maintenance and special projects at a Woodworking Millworks in the Boston Area. We did similar to Carlos for the Boston Historical Society, business and in many homes in the area. Picture a wood lathe setup to turn bowls over 6 feet in diameter, table saws with 30 inch blades, band saws with wheels 5 feet in diameter, 50 foot wide milling machines with our own saw mill and high production moulding and trim facility. Our glue press was 24 feet long and 10 feet wide capable of taking items 10 feet tall. We even had microwave glue presses that would setup lams with resourcinal glues in a few seconds.
The mill was built prior to the Civil War and was originally powered by a 40 foot Dillan Steam Engine which is still in use to heat the plant.
