I ordered a bunch of parts from Worksman to replace the ones that were damaged during disassembly. They should be here in 10 days. I tried a mahogany stain on scrap birch. It’s about time to build a box.

Got a coat of paint on the frame today. Still need to clear coat.

Pretty sure I can hear the seat post laughing at me.

$15 Harbor Freight. It worked fine. For the amount I am going to use it I didn’t want to make much of an investment.

Made it to the paint store and came home with aqua green.

I need to get serious about this bike soon. A friend gave me two of these today but they need to be chrome if I am going to use them. I got the fender mounted today. I am hoping to get paint tomorrow.

Nobody told me mahogany was expensive. I figured I better come up with a design before I went to the lumberyard. Still have no idea how to do the fenders

Lesson 1: Get my drill and find some bolts. Lesson 2: Don’t turn on an incline.

Last night I realized I have never seen a Worksman with a banana seat. Now I have but I don’t know if it is staying.

I drove a couple hours after work in January 2018 for this Worksman. I handed the guy $60 and brought it home where it sat since. My initial intention was to build an ice cream cart. The more I thought about it I decided to go a more creative route. I won’t win any races with this but it will...
