Onya Blaster,mate you would fit in well in outback australia. A bush mill, have you tried the bush lathe? hand drill in a vise and a hand file or Dremmel if you wanna be fancy. Lucky theres no Occupational Health and Safety in my shed.
There was a TV show on here a few years back on Bush Mechanics, these guys are aboriginals and they were making brake shoes and clutch pads out of certain types of bush woods, was actually realy cool to watch as well as have a good laugh.

Oh yeah, I've done the bush lathe thing and much worse  :-D
It's amazing what you can do when you have little to work with.

a bastard file is my best friend   (when all my real tools fail)

Some are ancient but they still work  8-)

About 2 days before Roost volunteered to machine some of the adapters I had started making a adapter by hand.

Poor mans water jet:



Poor mans milling machine....



Now I'm wondering if I should finish it or wait for a really nice one from Roost....
Yeah, I'm going to make a stab at finishing it  :lol:

You could do some sweet port work with that thing Bra!

  ...before you finish your version look at the clearance to kickstarter-swing and the brake pedal, if it would be installed on the bike. i think this two points are very important. 

now you are 2 steps before me  :-D... the men of steel is now the man of aluminium ...  :lol:

Yep, I already checked clearances and I'm good  8-)
At least I think I'm good.
But I could be bad.
We'll see  :-D

Done with the poor mans water jet and milling machine.
I still have to drill and tap the holes, sand and polish, then get it welded.

Regardless of what she says, there is a lot of chatter and it has a tendency to jump out of your grip,
This only happened once and I didn't like it  :-(

If your gonna try it, just be careful  8-)

This is still rough but it is taking shape.

Now I'm waiting for my KX450f clutch cover to come in so I can confirm the geometry and then get it polished, drilled, tapped, and welded on.

A little more progress.
I've got to get some socket head cap screws but you get the idea.
 




Now I need to verify that I correctly calculated the depth by fitting it to my bike.
Once that is done then I can have it welded.
