My name is Doug Cvelbar. You can leave me a private message if you have any questions.

I have produced 2d CAD drawings and cut out fittings for Rick Bennett and Fred Murrin. I have also made some parts for my father Al Cvelbar who is building an Albatross DVa. Tools I currently have for producing parts:

9x20 metal lathe
J-Head bridgeport milling machine
TIG welder
MIG welder
Small metal cutting bandsaw
Drill press

(many other hand/power/air tools)

Here is a sample of my machining:

(This engine was built completely from barstock from purchased plans)

Here is a motorcycle I rebuilt this summer:
DISCLAIMER for the purest: (this is not a BMW but I did what the customer wanted) this is a Chinese CJ750

Work done:
- rebuilt regulator system with solid state components
- replaced carburetors.
- assembled engine top end, set valves.
- installed distributor and set timing.
- stripped fenders, tank, and sidecar to bare metal.
- Black base, air brushed letters with stencil, clearcoat, sanded and buffed to mirror finish.
- replaced tires.
- Made BMW emblem beuty rings on lathe.

I am not always available and probably not the fastest because this is a side thing/hobby and have limited time. I have a bachelors degree in electrical engineering technology and my profession is computer programming.

If I am not available to do something my dad is available for some things. I will make a seperate post for him in the next few days. I learned my mechanical skills from him so for now you can look at my work as a reflection of his abilities.
