Hi All,

This will be my first stool. And it will be a ground-up build. I will be making most of the parts myself, with the exception of the axles, bearings, and the stool.

I decided to make a BSR because I am starting a new business making billet parts for Victory motorcycles, and I figured I could use it at the shows I may attend this year. Also, if it turns out good… I can use it in my booth as an attention grabber.

Oh… One more thing… it will be powered by a gas turbine engine. :thumb:

I’ll post some build pics later

Heff:

The engine will be of my own design. It will be based off of a Garrett T3 turbo. The combustion chamber will be 304 stainless, and incorporate a evaporator fuel system. The planed fuel will be Jet A, or Kerosene.
