Brain Food

Brains, aka Brian, freaking out the squares late night at the Wendys drive through. A steady diet of carbs, fat, sugar, and chopper riding keep him functioning at peak performance.

Saturday Shop Pic

Yes my shop is crowded and messy. Legs mounted on the english wheel and it tucks in next to the helve hammer nicely. Added a removeable platform to the center for hammer and bag shaping. Roughed in an alloy tank for a norton featherbed cafe racer based on the fiberglass one in the bottom of the pic. Probably paint the e-wheel after I decide if I'm going to truss it or not.

Chopper Rescue

Rescueing Brains and his old Honda chopper when the rear brake self destructed. Bend, weld, grind, hammer, and he's back on the road.

King & Queen

Made a king & queen seat base for my shovelhead. Modeled it after Jacobs seat that the Haifley brothers had featured in Show Class #3. Retains the solo seat option should I choose it. Put a little stash tube in the middle. Maybe I can fit some cut down tools in there. Post more pics once it's covered.

1956 Austin Healey Hood

This hood had a big hole in the center and that fiberglass scoop glopped on it with bondo. Patched the hole with the tig welder. The third picture shows all the shrinks that it took to make it not taco shaped. It's a bit like a noodle with the sub structure removed. Got to try out the new english wheel dialing the shape back in.
