Project: Drift Trike - Day #3

Today I got some more sawing done. I sawed through a lot of the top bar, then realized that if I continued sawing through at that angle, it would go through more than I wanted it to. So, in order to saw from another angle, I had to saw out the middle down-bar to give enough room for the saw.

Middle Down-bar
Middle down-bar is gone!


Shortly after that, while sawing through the top bar, my saw blade snapped! It snapped! I mean, how? But more importantly, why? Didn't it know I was in the middle of a really important project, and that it was my only blade?
Broken blade...
IT SNAPPED!!!!!
Progress...
Not much progress...
Anyways, I also wanted to try to get the pedal cranks off, but after a few minutes I realized I had no idea how to do that... So I Googled it and found out you need a special tool for most bikes. But mine looks a lot different. I also tried to loosen my handlebars/front wheel so I could get it off when I am ready to paint... and this happened.
Idk what this is called...
This broke too...
So, 2 of my tool attachments(I guess?) broke and I still haven't even finished sawing... :(

I'm not going to count Sundays and other days I don't work on it as days because I want the days to show how many work days it took me. If I'm lucky I'll have time to work on it again before next weekend, but I don't know.
