SUCCESS! I finally got the pedal off! All it took was a very small amount of heat and two cans of PB Blaster over two weeks. I don't have pics, but I've already stripped down the rest of the crank assembly. Thankfully the pedals were the only two stuck screws on the whole bike. Speaks volumes to...

I got annoyed the other day with lugging the welder and tank around the shop every time I need to do some welding. Figured that since I have a new welder and a new tank I oughta build a whole new welding cart. I'm using an old cast iron table saw deck for the top. Beats spending close to $100 on...

Guess who's got gas tonight? Yeah, okay, it's me. Finally got my MIG gas setup so I can stop showering my shop and projects with flux core splatter. Working the seat spring mounting blocks

I do. What diameter do you need?

Young-ish. I'll be 36 soon. Gotta love having ADHD and trying to adult at the same time, lol

If anyone has a lead on old tin oil cans, I'd be super grateful. The oldest one I've found had cardboard sides. Really want an all metal oil can. Looking for quart size

I'm single, so whenever I'm not at work I can do whatever I want. Which usually means I slack off doing nothing until the 11th hour, then devote my entire existence to finishing whatever project's deadline is pending

Yeah. At least 18 hours of nothing but stitching. It's kinda therapeutic and helps with my insomnia

Aww shucks Matti, thanks for the compliment!

Well, after ANOTHER bout of insomnia, I've completely finished the seat. Added a brushed bronze finish to the raised diamonds. Not at all shabby for my second ever attempt at a custom bike seat

Went on a HUGE group ride today, put on by the Freewheeler bike shop. There were easily 3-400 riders. Tons of Big Rippers and BMX style bikes

Changed up my padding plans on the seat. Waiting on the glue to dry on padding. It now has 1/4" of high density yoga mat to pad my keister. Debating on adding one more layer, I'll wait until the glue to dry tomorrow to see how it all stacks up

I'm so glad that I can FINALLY return these gawdy monstrosities. They were a desperate attempt to find something unique after my first grip set disappeared during shipping. BEGONE SHINY DAZZLERS!This year's build off has me playing yoyo with Amazon. Most of the stuff I'm using for my bike has...

Yay! I finally have a grip on the situation! Now if I only had a clue to go with it.

I like this style. Has a 50's vibe to it

It's an OLD song. The YouTube posting was from 13 years ago, pretty sure it was old even then

My buddy Mack Carter builds them every now and again. I've been seriously considering building one myself

*Cough, cough, Small Tall bike cough, cough*

Good thinking. I usually have the same problem when welding my own frames. I might borrow this for future projects

Thank you! I've got something like that on the way, a 3mm foam sheet. That way I can keep it thin or add more where it's needed
