Ocean state goodness

Got this mystery package yesterday. Much to my surprise it was a set of beautifully machined Triumph motor mounts from my friend Steve Sheldon @ Troyfab. I can't wait to put these things on my project, thanks a ton Steve.

new tools

Played with the rivet gun a little today.

Start of the day

Been busy working, finishing up some customer work, and getting things lined up for the shovel build. I want to share another random beautiful object with the good people who check out my foolishness here. The handmade ceramics @ Roseberry Winn Pottery are really cool, made right here in Massachusetts, and have a store in Tiverton, RI that resides on some killer backroad motobike riding that will take you right to the ocean. Beautiful work, great people.

What a tease

This is at the plastics fab shop where I work part time, no metal allowed. Bummer.

Fuel sight glass

I'm not usually a fan of fuel sight gauges, but I like the single mount style this particular customer sent for me to install in his tank.

Doomriders @ Ralph's

I called it an early night the last couple times this band has come to Wormtown. I'm glad I decided to de-pussify myself last night and finally catch these guys live.

Some beauty by Jens Risom

It's been a while since I've thought about anything besides working on motorbikes (which is not an awful thing). Beauty and inspiration has come from many, these are some Jens Risom images I find beautiful.

Favorites

Saw an image today that made me think of some movies that I love (thanks Max).

Darren's ironhead

It will be done soon Darren, with some extra goodies for your patience.

Modifying hidden mount blocks

Jake, thanks for letting me use your Bridgeport.  

Flow forming

Made this tool to work with a pneumatic rivet gun for forming metal. I was pointed in the direction of this idea by Eric aka Rudehog on a forum I belong to. Really cool tools for metalshapers on the site www.tinmantech.com. Definitely some quality stuff and really worth checking out.
