Your being optimistic is a great quality to have as this will carry you through the "can't make up my mind" stage of a build. IMO- I think Mig/Tig/Heliarc welding are fairly easy to master- it's the understanding of "metallurgy" that most people overlook or fail to wrap their heads around.

Good point you make about the metallurgy, I haven't though about it and maybe I should do some research, I'm knot completely settled with the idea of the weld sinking into the pipe fitment idea even though I have some arc experience. This I will do.
Both of you seem to have reached my idea nicely, good to know there is interest in the project. . . time to search metallurgy.
Just to broarden the idea a bit: I have looked at a Roadstercycle reverse but think a jack shaft with starter ring around a disk for brake and starter reverse will suit be better. The problem at the moment is getting from the jack shaft to the axle, I want something that will last and this will take some new ideas that have me thinking a lot.
