    Oh happy day! I am in the shop so I have a few photos to post instead of the gratuitous "bump" garden photos and the preparation for makin' sammiches. Here is my work space for now... You will notice my hammer is bigger this year. A bit rusty.. but I have reacquainted myself with the...

    Thank you! I am the more "in the cave" traditionalist (mainly because of a limited skill set I suspect) but I love learning, building and design. The trike is a bit of a challenge but should be a great build for me. :grin:

    Thank you! I had some real progress on final design today! While JATS worked on his metal work, I decided on the front tire, brake design, color scheme, and some other little design elements. So I may not have been able to actual get "hands on" much, I felt today was very productive...
