dread the thread...


so another day and I am still at the shop, ahh to be in business for oneself..is it the money, the glory, or the sheer sadomasochism that drives me? ha ha...all you fellow builders can relate...hell, all of you can relate!

today was dealing with more non bike related bits, in particular threading 3/4" rod for a rock crusher that had gone bad...the things we do to support our habits huh? some wear suits and ties, some sell sunglasses at the mall, and some of us whore ourselves out to anything that will bring in money! ha ha..

On a shiny happy note, Kehrsie has all but completed the first stage of the final version of the edwin website, so stay tuned, no more poorly constructed drivel from yours truly!

I need to get downstairs and clean up my mill, I left it dirtier than a highway gas station's bathroom yesterday and need to hose her down. More excitement here, finishing up #1 of a ten frame order for Staats, mountain cross bike with all the oddness of a mountain cross frame...can you say steep top tube? when did we start jamming mountain bike forks under BMX frames and calling it a sport? that said, I think I will build one for me too.

Ever notice that the more you work with metal the more your hands 'evervesse'? did I spell that right? I swear they look like I have glitter coming out of them.

Tell your friends about the blog, I need to share my mindless drivel with the world and of course I would be happy to read all of yours too!

Pic is of the head tube tig on the staats proto....weld porn....hmmmm, poooooornnn.
