Some pics of her in the shop. Cleaned a few small areas on the table and ways to get a feel for what I am in for....not bad at all.

Out of the shed and all loaded up. Got it back to the shop without a hiccup. Thanks Ed! More pics from the shop when I get it to its final spot.

Installed and looking good....tool a while to line up the install but all worth it.  View from back porch of house just before the sheep field.

After some light cleanup to the notch (1 inch tube to 1 1/8 inch tube at 90 degrees) it came together real good.  Next steps to cut more notches and create a bunch of pieces to practice my brazing.  Also, need to cut at angles.  More to come...

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.

Rare to see a Smith Motor Wheel so I took some pics.  As I was taking pics someone started talking about a Dayton Wheel.

Great examples of each.  The Smith mounts on the back wheel while the Dayton is mounted to the front.

Good day at the Coolspring Power Museum. 

Nice find at 2012 Cirque.  Mavic Track group....

I don't do commissions!  Well never say never.  The Loudoun Academy of the Arts approached me about doing a "Thank You" gift for a dear friend of mine, I was honored and of course said yes.  All the stresses that I try to avoid with commission work came rushing back over the few months of creation but the result was fantastic.
