I am working on three bike builds this spring. One of them is a 1940s Goodyear brand bike I bought last fall from my buddy Dave. It is a straight bar cruiser frame and I want to build it in sort of a late 70s mountain bike/BMX style. In my head it looks really cool. [...]
I have been wanting to learn how to build up bike wheels for a while. Today I finally got all the parts together to give it a shot. While I was waiting for parts I read about how to do it so today went pretty smooth. It took most of the afternoon trialling and erroring [...]
I bought Maritoni a 1975 Schwinn Breeze for Valentine’s Day. It needs some work but that is cool because I am going to strip it down and rebuild it for her. She wants it to be pink. It is still in the planning stage. It was hard to find a cool old bike to fit [...]
This is my new bass. I put it together from parts I bought on ebay. I also refinished the body. I really like it so far. It is a Precision bass body with a P/J pickup set, wilkinson bridge standard jazz bass wiring and controls. The neck is a standard Jazz bass neck with Schaller [...]
I finished this bike a month ago but have been busy riding it and other stuff so I didn’t have a chance to post pictures. I got it from my neighbor who had thrown it out. I completely rebuilt it and it is really fun to ride. If you want to see pictures of the [...]

It now plays hundreds of arcade and console games using MAME and other emulators. I am in the “beta-testing” phase of the [...]
The barn behind my house has been seriously overcrowded for a long time. Since I have no basement or garage I use it for my workshop and also for storage. I wanted to buy some more woodworking tools so I added an 5′x12′ addition to store my lawnmower and that kind of stuff. I decided [...]
I finished this a while back but did not get around to posting photos until today. I was waiting because the room this piece is in needs to be repainted. I don’t think I will get around to doing this for a while so here are a few quick shots. I may put up better [...]
I bought this the other day for $40. I have been working on a MAME arcade emulator project and have decided to house it in here. I created a work log for this project in which I will post info about my progress. Technorati Tags: Atari, Centipede, Classic Arcade Game, emulators, M.A.M.E., Mame, Restoration
This is the wall system I just built for my living room. It is the first real furniture I designed and built. I made a couple of this type with the two black doors. I had a limited amount of the veneered stock so I chose to alternate the door and cabinet colors. Here you [...]
