Good gods, you're thinking, has he actually finished one of his crackpot projects.  Well, sort of.  Not so much finished as started with style.

This was a quick-and-dirty job.  Scrapheap Challenge style, so everything ground by hand, lined up by eye, tacked, adjusted with a lump hammer and then welded very badly (burn through? in spades, baby).  Regular pennyfarthings are elegant.  If they're Halle Berry, this is Verity Treacle.
