Good day! I present to you one of three their works practically fits on an outstretched palm.
I make them from bearings, bolts, screws, nuts. The engine on the top is made of a spark plug from the engine. Exhaust pipes I always make from thin stainless steel tubes with a diameter of 3mm. Stainless steel steering wheel. Everything else is made of sheet stainless steel with a thickness of 0.8-1 mm. By the way, the tank is hollow from 0.8 mm (cut out in small pieces, adjusted, grabbed and then boiled).
Each element is made separately, then polished and welded. The welding current was from 8 to 35 amperes. I made each model without a sketch - I just thought up and kept everything in my head, that is, a flight of imagination. I did it for a long time, about 4-6 months. After all, it also depends on the mood, it’s a creative matter. In the future, I will also make a trike for the collection.
Practical advice for those who want to do this: take a tungsten electrode with a diameter of 1.2 mm. And it is better, of course, that the arc was ignited in a pulsed manner and the current on the torch could be adjusted with one click. That is, the primary current is approximately 8 amperes, so as not to immediately burn through thin metal, and when you press the button on the torch, the current is greater. It turns out very neatly and does not burn anything. The filler wire is the same as the material to be welded, with a diameter of 0.8 to 1 mm.

Last time I posted photos of my crafts from old radio components. A friend saw them and threw up the idea to assemble a motorcycle, I liked the idea. Having smashed my head a little, I began to select parts and started assembling.
I sketched a simple drawing of the frame on paper and selected resistors of suitable sizes:
After assembling the frame, I moved on to the wheels, I took the disks as a basis, the fasteners of the pancakes from the hard drives, picked up the beads by size and a couple of gears:
Having collected the model a little, I also realized that the frame and the motorcycle itself turns out to be somehow flimsy and unreliable and does not look so good as I would like, so I decided to slightly change the concept and took a copper wire as a basis. Wire frame:
This design turned out to be much stronger, and in my opinion it looks much better.
and behind it, everything from the same plate, by cutting and soldering, made a fuel tank:
He made a fork for the front wheel from a wire, bent the steering wheel from a thinner wire and coiled springs from an even thinner wire. I collected everything in a heap and hung the parts in their places:
Made an exhaust system from wire and pipes:
I covered the harness with leatherette. He made a simple wardrobe trunk out of it:
And then he collected everything in a heap, made a headlight from a plastic cylinder and transparent plastic, completed the steering wheel, adding rear-view mirrors and handles. And painting, so as not to rack his brains for a long time, took nail polish, lays down not bad enough, there are interesting colors and dries quickly.
From scrap materials.
The whole process of work took me about 7 hours.
Initially, we make small sketches of our future motorcycle. Then we start assembling the "skeleton" of our motorcycle, namely the frame. I decided to make the frame of copper wire, because copper is a rather strong material, and also products from it look very beautiful. And he added a spring-loaded seat to the resulting frame:
After assembling the frame, we proceed to assembling the wheels, I decided to make the basis of the disks from the fasteners of the pancakes from the hard drives of the computer, I also picked up a couple of gears and belts in size:
Then we move on to the rear wing, for this I took a small copper plate. I got this copper wing.
Then, from the same plate, by cutting and small soldering, I made a fuel tank.
Then he made the fork of the front wheel from wire, made the steering wheel from thinner wire, and wound the springs from even thinner wire. I put everything together and hung the necessary parts in their places.
Then we begin to make the engine, I had to smash my head over it for more than one hour, but in the end I found a wire suitable size and proceeded to grind and knock out the cylinders. (Tin solder can be used instead of wire, it is softer)
Then he adapted the gearbox to the engine, created a similar pattern of real ones on the cylinders (made ribbing) and added the wiring, which in the original is connected to the spark plugs.
Made an exhaust system from wire and small pipes.
Then he covered the harness with leatherette. Using the same leatherette, I made a simple wardrobe trunk.
And then I collected everything from a plastic cylinder and, using transparent plastic, made a headlight. Modified the steering wheel by making rear-view mirrors and small handles.
And the last step is painting. To do this, I took a regular nail polish, it fits on metal quite well and dries quickly.
Here are some pictures of the finished motorcycle:
New and very popular gifts now are candy crafts made in the form of a bouquet, cake, toy, motorcycle, etc. Very often, girls do not know what gift can be made on February 23rd to surprise the strong half. A candy motorcycle will be a great option for a man who, even without being a sweet tooth, will appreciate such an interesting and unusual gift.
This master class presents how to make a motorcycle out of sweets step by step with your own hands, which will greatly facilitate the process of making a surprise.
MK - a motorcycle made of sweets
You will need:
- Wooden skewers 20 and 30 cm long.
- Thick cardboard.
- Wire with a diameter of 1 mm.
- Candies:
- long round - 15 pcs;
- square two colors - 22 pieces red and 43 pieces black;
- large square - 5-6 pieces;
- any round - 1 kg;
- chocolate coins - 3 pcs.
Progress:
- Draw 12 circles with a diameter of 4.5 cm on thick cardboard.
- Cut out the circles and glue together 6 pieces. We glue the resulting two parts of the wheels with gold paper or foil.
- We glue 8 red square candies around the wheel blanks on adhesive tape so that the upper part of the wrapper is glued to the surface.
- Glue a strip of double-sided tape on top, then use it to attach 11 black square candies to each wheel.
- Cut off a strip of cardboard with a length equal to the length of 15 red and 4 large square candies, it is imperative to make a stock of 5-7 cm.We glue it with gold paper, and on top of the adhesive tape we glue 15 red candies, stepping back 3 cm from one end.
- We take 4 long skewers, connect them in 2 and wrap them with gold paper. We get 2 blanks.
- We bend the strip with sweets after the fifth and thirteenth, apply golden double sticks to the resulting figure.
- We glue two long candies to the skewer (blank # 1), and attach the skewer itself to the motorcycle frame, as shown in the photo. And we connect two more long candies with each other (blanks No. 2).
- We take 2 short skewers each and attach at an angle of 100-110 ° to them pieces of wire with a length equal to the candy, wrap them with gold paper and attach two long candies to them. These will be blanks # 3.
- Glue the resulting blanks No. 3 to front wheel the motorcycle so that they face up. And between the parts we attach a large square candy, onto which we further attach the motorcycle frame parts. We glue the second wheel to one end of the workpiece No. 1, and with the other end, attach it to a large square candy. Workpiece # 2 is angled down on both sides of the motorcycle.
- On top of the cardboard of the frame, we glue a seat made of large square candies, and we make a gas tank from round ones.
- We fill the voids in the right places with round candies, we make mirrors and a headlight from chocolate coins. We glue long candies to the protruding wires and direct them in the right direction.
- We wrap 2 more short skewers with gold paper and make a footboard so that the motorcycle stands upright.
Our candy bike is ready!
