Adventures in Anodising

<< < (8/14) > >>

MartyC:
That's a pretty good job, might try that trick on a chain ring I have  :daumenhoch:

Avro:
I have done a bit more today, parts for my 'Racergoose' aka Bobby Encinas bike.
The Sugino cranks started out as silver anodised, the SR chainwheel was raw. I did not put a lot effort in preparing these, the chainwheel none at all. I am prioritising a couple of other builds and my time is limited. The lack of prep. work does show, also my 10 litre tank was not really big enough to suspend the cranks and you can see where one has been touching the bottom. On the chain wheel you can see a finger print Grrrrr.

Cranks coming out of the caustic soda solution and still smoking:

Nice  :)
Would you do any anodising for anyone else ?

Avro:
Within reason! Small parts like those shown, I hope to do rims and handlebars but need to research a whole lot more and get more experience. After all it gets a little dull redoing the same piece to get experience :idiot2:
If it helps someone with a build, then sure but remember I am working in a mancave in my spare room, I have a job and committments; I am not a professional anodiser!
