DINA RONČEVIĆ : HOT, HOT BURNING WATER

They liked my project VEHICLE , so we prepared another devils machine for the opening in Belgrade, on 11.10.2013.

(This is the video presenting what went on there https://vimeo.com/84512280 )

BLAST TO THE PAST! Check it out!

September 2013:

We´re constructing a trike, run by a chainsaw engine.

Dig that.

Who knows what´s gonna turn out of it :)

Antun Maloseja(Tonci) supervises the project with his technical skills and patience and I am working with Dina Karadzic again, cause she´s awesome, and Lidija Jankovic, our new lady force!

I spent some time with Tonci, figuring out what kind of a vehicle would be suitable for the occasion, work conditions, budget, knowledge level and the time we have for constructing it. So, it started with the introduction for the crew...

day 1.

Some basic info for the girls.

- I dont know that much

- We´ll learn to grind, I tried that once, It´s cool

- We´ll learn to weld, that´s cool too

- Tonci will explain us everything, dont worry

- I am not sure how it connects .. all of it

- I really dont know how transmission will work...

Watching instructional video about welding, to get the idea of it.

- I still dont get it. We´ll get it. Eventually.

day 2.

Tonci was away, we were impatient.
A friend came, showed us a few things on grinding and welding.

Not really welding. But trying to get it. Why, how, what, where, when, how close...

Two stroke engine! What is it in the chainsaw, how will the power be transmitted to the wheels?

This is where Lidija started falling in love with the grinder.

day 6.

Flea market, looking for cog wheels.

Tonci explained us a thing or two about how cogs will transmit the power from the chainsaw.

A bit of bone cutting!

My first weld that doesn't look like just a pile of smtng.

day 7.

Well, a few choices were made. Lidija and Dina K. will grind, I´ll be the welder.

Tonci offered some awesome solutions, considering the DIY issue of the project.

day 8.

Lidija started with some serious grinding. I made piles of smthng to connect the iron.

Every help is welcome, even if its comin from a tiny tool.

day 10.

We had to wait some time to get the chainsaw. And had a couple of days with nothing to do :/

Im flyin to Amsterdam, Tonci and the girls will have to finish the trike. That wasnt planned, but I am glad girls want to continue working, and dont need my assistance at all. I believe that is where this project works. This is the best of it.

Enthusiasm, desire, interest, confidence, ( ... ) developed, transferred or whatever. Something beautiful happened.

Girls did the cutting and grinding, Ive made my welds, we´ve made the basic stuff, it is up to the turner to connect cog wheels and disc brake to the axle, and then Tonci will show the girls how brakes will work and how the power from the chainsaw will be transmitted.

Anyhow, we got a Stihl chainsaw, 051av model.

89cc

5.8 hp at 7,000 rpm

11,4kg

Lidija has a thing for it. She has no problem starting it from an upstanding position. She did it like a kid unpacks a chocolate. Quickly and with joy.
