A bit of sunlight will speed it along. As well as a bit of terps or thinner mixed in. I usually cut the first layer a good bit, 50/50 or more, so it soaks in to the places I can’t see and it seems to harden up more quickly.

Yep I’d love to build a BMX Cruiser out of one.

Two sweet builds in one thread. great value.

Yep This is cool. Definitely following the progress. back in the old days I worked on wooden boats and built some bows so this is definitely something that caught my attention.

Thanks! I like this one a lot, when I get home a frame search may start… I’m a steely, but aluminum is much easier in the swamp, so I’m willing to try.

I like this build a lot. it’s creative, fun, and functional. And it looks cool.

I think finding people on the road will become more common with people becoming so dependent on their phones to navigate. mom still old-school. Maps and memory, compass occasionally. Many of the places I go don’t have cell service he didn’t even have a map. Hey Siri, take me to Tacos is cool and...

Cool. Hopefully they got better shots than I did. it looked a good spot for some Starwars filming. Maybe they will use it for some Mandalorian episodes.

So, I’ll be here for a bit. have to do some work on my daughters apartment and car, and put new tires on it, and maybe do some work on her 81 Schwinn World commuter before heading back to my swamp. she goes back to work Monday so I’ll have some time, except when her car is getting it’s been...

Death Valley almost was. we found a guy there in a wrecked car. He drove it flat until till his rim broke then spent the night in it. we came upon him in the morning. It was still a cool 93, he seemed a bit disoriented and lost, and so we made some space in our car and took him about 100 miles...

I spent a few years hiking and snorkeling and diving in Pictured Rocks and Isle Royale doing aquatic surveys back before I became an Everglades swamp creature. The UP and all the way around the Big Lake are some beautiful county that I will return to some day. my grandmother’s younger brother...

I was in Death Valley yesterday. In Santa Monica today, just finishing a coast to coast road/ camping trip.

I’m on the road with no bikes, but here are a sunset and a sunrise from 200 feet below sea level.

Someone else tried to take it for a ride today. Didn’t make any progress. Probably doesn’t ride a fixed gear.

Yea. Online shopping can be a gamble And if purchasing a front/rear brake it’s logical to expect to get a longer cable. So you can use it either front or rear. Maybe an Amazon complaint could result in a longer cable mailed to you. Good luck!

Nice. I used to live right there. In a little town outside of Boonsboro. I Thrashed my Gary Fisher Montare while out making my own trail. lol I ended up building my first single speed on that frame.

Why not just get a longer brake cable and cut it to fit? That way you can get whatever color you want, and route them how you like. Your LBS should have some. I just picked up cables at a hardware store. Most use just a front brake on most fixed gears bikes. If you are going to use the...

Lol. That would be cool, leave them at an end, or n the middle with some kind of cool valve cover on them. Like a pair of dice or something. Next time.

This thing is sweet! Excellent vision and work. I also enjoyed the farm posts.

I start from the center, pull and stretch and wrap back towards the ends. At the end I cut and then tuck the remainder into the tube and pound a plug in. Then a short piece of tube cut like a wide rubber band, is stretched over the end. The plug, and the stretch bit would be easier with three...
