The kickstand was created with three bent metal pie. The arcs and rings were slip rolled and welded. The thickest ring was modified to create a riveted hinge for the kickstand

A method of faux brazing was used to create a golden finish directly onto the steel.

I created my own particle filtration system with the motor compartment sealed off with a fine mesh filter and a plastic grid keeping it in place. Air passes through and works in conjunction with a filter bag and nozzle attached to the hose itself to filter coarse and fine dust.
