New chopper bike build thread

Hi guys, thought I'd try my hand at seeing if I could make a spoked wheel for my next project while I'm still finishing up my trike. I don't know how good it will come out but we'll see. Got a lot of work done on my chopper trike today. Still have a few things to get done on it.

Interesting way you have of doing the spokes. The video below shows how to make the most accurate motorcycle spokes that I know of. Most are a variation of this method. Nice thing is that the jig can be used over and over. ;)

What?! Are you saying you don't like the way I DID MINE??!! WHAT THE HELL!!!! Heh-heh, just kidding! Yeah I like the video you provided in showing how to make them, I just wanted to see if I could do it my way and see if I could make it at least half way passable.
