Don't get a fendered, but these fenders are giving me feelings

I would’ve had that sissy bar finished right now but I spent too much time cleaning up my work shed so I could finish my sissy bar.

Nope, never been there.

Merle thinks Carl's thread is open mic night at the improv:

I think he should swap this one out for a Floyd Rose.

Wahwahwahwah!

Gratuitous and even more death-defying One handed pneumatic slitter wheel selfie!

Sounds filthy

I'm enjoying this adventure of yours.

(In response): I wish that were me

Just an engineering misstep, not an error. Like when a politician gets caught in a lie, they just "misspoke".

Are you sure you are an engineer, not a politician?

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Another "engineering anomaly". I thought it may have been another misstep, but I was wrong.

Nice cover

I would take pictures, but a friend of mine told that people on the internet HATE mock-ups, so...

Cleaned (the cups) up and got them pressed in. Most people refer to my press as a rubber mallet.

Two highlights, one post. This guy is efficient

Ratrod spring tester. Using what you are given.

Now that I've added that 1" coil on top, it's nearly rigid, anyway. I set my gut over the bars, hiked my Chuck Taylors up off the ground, and did fat man planks. It didn't even come close to bottoming out, though I had to catch my breath for a moment, after all of that exertion.

As the wise man once said, "If it ain't broke, fix it till it is."

He might have seen me working...

got a couple scratches on the frame before I could get the clear coat on it. I had to wait until it sat for 7 days to cure. It only made it 5 days...
Once I paint it again I will hang it up so high the birds will be afraid to land on it. I will not even look at it.
Since looks can kill I am sure they can scratch and maim as well.

I'll need another 26" fork. The wife is asking where are all the forks I've bought in the last three months. Well, a few got chopped up and weren't useable and got stashed under the workbench but that's not what I tell her. I go into a lengthy explanation about angles and ratios and pull out frames and wheels until her eyes glaze over and she says "Oh I see".

I’m got sick of looking at the candy blue on the frame and the lack of progress so I changed the photos to black and white

Noted. I'll have to try that!
