Finally setting up my vise for good!  Building pedestal and will mount to floor.  Sick of rattle and shake on Chinese vise attached to workbench. Picked this vise up last summer at Liberty Tool in Liberty Maine.

Will weld up soon and red head to the floor.

Side note: bored out the 3/4 and 9/16 holes on the millrite....made easy work of the 5/8" plate.

Swapped out my old saddle to test ride a new Selle An-Atomica Titanico-X.  Thanks to Velo Classique and their handy Bici Support fitting tools that made swapping the saddles a breeze.  Not to mention Velo Classique has a test saddle (as shown) so you can try before you buy.

Recent find at the Coolspring Power Museum Swap and Show.

Runs great.  Plan on using for tube notching primarily but may mess around with making some jigs and try out some dropout notches as well.

Got my Sawmaster up and running!  Little time consuming on the cuts but less noise and mess than the abrasive chop saw.  Handles thicker steel much nicer as well.  The sound it makes is soothing as well.  Love the high tech auto off mechanism as well....wait for it at the end of the vid.

As the days get shorter for my commute I dreaded another season worrying about charging batteries.  I took the dyno plunge and wired up the commuter.  Have not rode in the dark yet (will get to that tonight) but the ride in was uneventful and the hub is smooth.

OK, so I got around to testing it!  It is way brighter than I anticipated.  The photos at Peter White cycles web site show it well.

Model 125 Goodell Pratt Metal Working Lathe.  Probably 1920s vintage.

Great shape, shown here in as found condition.  Will be cleaning soon and hooking up a motor.  Will get some vids going when it is in action.

Fired up the Columbia Newsboy Special for me and the LaFrance Twinflex for my wife to ride in the Lincoln Parade!

Another steel cut logo for the new Sticky Rice in Baltimore.

I have had this piece for a while but finally got around to taking some pics of it.  It is a great early soapbox derby racer.  Shows some age but is a great looking peace.  Almost folk art in look.  "Rival Unchained" !!! Great name.

Still has last race banner attached.  Class A race!

Cockpit is pretty cool too.  Has a 60s auto type upholstery look.  Very cool steering wheel as well.
