Good for course work.

I will never understand how blacksmithing works, nor will I attempt it, but its mesmerizing to watch
Ya heat iron or steel till it’s soft and hit it with a hammer until it goes into the shape you want

Now hook it up to a bike!.. pretty cool that it works, seems like some of those pieces could use a little reinforcement.
I also am hooking a motor up soon. Probably a bad idea but you live and you learn
It’s actually all sturdy. The wobble is from the ground it’s sitting on being uneven
Well, it’s more that you put holes in the handle of the hammer, seems like it will split, and those brackets for the axle probably too
The brackets are acting as wood bearings. They are made from hickory and are greased. Actually pretty strong there are parts on the frame
That will give up before the parts you mentioned will.
Well, you know better than me, just keep your kitty toes on!
