I’m on a tear. I’m selling t-shirts to help build out my framebuilding business. If you can’t afford to buy a shirt, could you help spread the word via Twitter or Facebook?
Man, I was going to “sleep in” today — and by sleep in, I mean “not set an alarm.” I still woke up at 0630. So lame. Busy day, yesterday. Got the electrical work in the garage done — three overhead, hardwired fluorescent lights. And got a new 20-amp circuit done, and four new outlets [...]
Hit up www.minnecycle.org for full details. I’ll be there, showing off my work. Pics from earlier shows: 2009, 2010.
So I spent 11 hours in the workshop yesterday, as part of my rush to get ready for Minnecycle. Above is one of the things I produced after getting sick of rooting around for the proper Dremel bits. Sure, it sucked up about 15 minutes of work (not counting paint-drying time), but it was a [...]

Man. I am way behind schedule on a lot of stuff right now. Work is kicking my ass senseless, and with the impending move and other fun, I can barely keep my head above water right now. Behind the curve on packing. Thus far, I have gotten the books and about 2/3rds of the bike [...]

There are things I wish I had paid more attention to in school that would help me a lot with my framebuilding. Math. No, seriously. There’s a lot of geometry and algebra used when designing a frame.
