Hello everybody
After a long and painful time I am confident that things are finally getting better and that I can work on my project again. Some weeks ago the titanium was removed from my shoulder. It was a great feeling to be almost without pain. After a year of doing nothing, my muscles are now half dead and my tendons are too short. I have started with physio and the first successes are already noticeable. I think until summer I will be able to work properly with both arms again. Until then I have some smaller things in focus. I will take pictures of them next time.
The situation with C19 is also very serious in Switzerland. I hope that we will get over it and learn one or two things from it.
Greetings from Switzerland, and NO I will not ski anymore. As alternative -> motorcycle.

Welcome back. I am assuming you will be building those parts into your car....

Glad that you've mended well and good to have you back. We're on on this journey together. Hoping that this global social distancing give you more time with your hobby.

BTW, I spent all of 5 seconds trying to figure out what parts for a Porsche those were until I decided to read your post.

I think it'll make a great accelerator pedal.

Exactly. In fact that is what I though it was at first glance. Fits right in with your project.

My wife has 7 screws in her leg, those are not coming out, BTW. A friend of mine crashed his motorcycle and had to have a custom ti shoulder made, so there is a trend here.

Yeah, it's not a P-spare part. That was in my shoulder for a year. I don't know what to make with it yet.



Currently I only build small things. Like this nice thing...

Original park brake parts




Titan Grade 5 screws from old army stocks

I can't imagine riding motorcycles instead of skiing. I've been a skier the whole of my life and not had any serious injuries, I also know several skiers over 70 with no issues. Are you skiing with unreasonable intensity? If so, the bike will not be a safer substitute.
