Not as impressive as `the lunchtime stem' but I like it!!

I bought the lumps of billet to do this when I was building my last ally Pork, but never got around to doing it, but i'd got a bit of `me' time today and was already empty, so went into the cave for a tinker!!

All done with a cordless drill, a belt sander and my bench grinder.

Fits a 31.8 frame, 27.2 seat post size, so may go on my retro ripper.

Got a few more blocks left, so may try a few more with a bit more shape!

Nice one Mark, it needs an angry face  >:( engraving on the front.
I imagine you working in a cold, spartan workcave, generating your own leccy with a foot pedal operated dynamo, humming the Slovakian national anthem.  ;D

rigged up a big wheel now , the dog runs,  wheel turns n the leccy flows  :daumenhoch:   ;D


top tinkers  munners ,

 possible clearance issue with the bolt maybe? just thunking the thread may encroach on the radius when its nipped up, worth checking if your bunging it on an alloy frame ,

   worthy of an LLP branding  though  ,  :daumenhoch:

Top tinkering :daumenhoch:
But how did you cut the slot with only a cordless drill, belt sander and bench grinder to hand?

That's how Tuf-Neck should have made seat clamps BITD as I think they would make a great accompaniment to their stems.

Maybe some grainning top and bottom with smooth sides  :chin:
