what to do with a camshaft?????

[psbarham]

for ages i've had an ex works honda touring car camshaft sitting in my workshop (don't ask its a long story) 'so what' you think 'its just a knobbly stick', aah thats where you are wrong, its hollow bored to reduce rotating mass, which means you can see straight down the middle of it, now one thing led to another and well this is what happened to it

you should see my incense stick holder, its a honda touring car con rod

don't hate me for this but if it was usable couldn't you stick it on EBAY and sell it someone with a honda. who would pay big time for a real touring car cam.

But fair play to you the lamp does look good and a good use for a old clutch plate.

i did think abouth that but the people who build the engines and regrind the cams don't put a part no on the cam so buggered if you know if its inlet or exhaust, and anyway the chances of getting another are slimmer than kate moss on an all celery diet so i decided to keep it for myself

and it does look good.

Cool ......... I like items like that - no-one in the world has a lamp like that!

Personally, I'd have used it to bludgeon my family to death and buried them in the garden. That way, this year's cabbages would have been extra tasty.

Oh well. Each to his own eh.

Err no, we shouldn't, and as a man of the red blooded variety you shouldn't have such a gay item in your house. FFS.

Liking the lamp though, very cool.

Says you mate, I'm happy with eau de engine oil wafting it's way through my house of an evening along with such manly smells as creosote, burnt brake pads, degreaser, lawn mower cuttings and BBQ ash. Man-up fella's.

eer sat next to me is a woman, who demands womanly things about the house, as it is a fair (ish) relationship i let her have a few girly odds and sods about the place, the only reason the incense burner is now a conrod is the fact the one she did have was a tad ****e so thought i would make a mundane item a tad more exciting, so obviously for using some imagination makes me gay in your eye, well so be it, in the narrow minded world you live in i am gay for living with a woman and having engine parts as household items. i wonder if i should mention the windchimes i am making out of valves???????

the narrow minded world you live in

Say what you will, but it is very cosy in here.

(I did say I liked the lamp)
