DIY – Sprocket Remover (Chain Whip)

In my favorite online bike store there was no chain whip on stock, so I have made one myself. I needed a steel band (see the other piece) and a piece of steel pipe remained of the house building, and an old chain. I used a cheap chain tool, pliers, a hammer, a drill, and an angle grinder. A locksmith acquainted with me has welded it for free.

It works great.

If I will have a grinder, I will make a curve under the chain.

Ubul

I’m having Ubul for a week now. He is not a dog (as his name would suggest to a Hungarian), but an EeePC. I like him very much. He works very well with Ubuntu, and I can work with him too (unlike with the 14" one). I bought him with Xandros, but installed Ubuntu very soon. He is quite hot. I can get used to his keyboard, the screen size is perfect. I like his resolution of 130dpi. He works longer from battery than Zotmund, my Acer notebook does. The 4GB SDHC card I bought for it is bad, I should change it.

We are waiting.

DIY – Leatherman Compact Keychain

I have found an article about storing keys in a Letherman tool. I didn’t have a Letherman tool for this, but I have made something like that.

I needed a steel band remained of the house building. I have cut it into three pieces with a hacksaw, have removed the burr with a file, expanded the two holes with a twist drill, and put the keys on a furniture joiner screw. It’s good for me.
