Thanks for all your support, guys. :D I finished the brake so now it's done. Forty hours' labor over a month and about $220 in parts.

I think staining the wood was a great idea, looks really nice like that.

Well gents, it was that time of year again, so I built another go-kart to raffle off for my Rotary club.

Good job! I like the colors better on this one. But it should have brought in a lot more that that!

Great views of your workshop.

Yeah I know...that’s the perennial disappointment since the materials cost $270! But it was fun...

Do you know who got it or who has last year's creation? I hope they each get a good share of adventures and exciting tales of near mishaps.
