Some works in progress that I hope to have ready in time. Large rings stand about 6 feet tall.

Augers bits are from Maine tool shop.  Look like they are dancing....to be determined.  They actually might be bickering.

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

Made from an old wagon wheel hub band.  Serves as a hitching post, hand rail and great piece of art.

Bottle Tree construction underway. 80 feet of rebar, 30 cuts, a bunch of bending and lots of welding make up this Bottle Tree. Holds 22 bottles.  Will update with bottles on it soon....got some drinking to do.

Great piece of early diamond plate steel cut to DC Flag.

Damn camera had "Blue Tint" set in the last few pics... sorry about that but here are a few color pics of the cleaned frame.

*Cleaned up Bottecchia*

*Closer Look at Chrome Lugs and Fork Crown - not to mention the faded top tube.*

First stages of stripping down early Bottecchia and cleaning frame and chrome.  Removed bottom bracket (what an ordeal that was) and repacked fork.  Ordering new Italian BB for it and digging up cranks soon.

*As Found at Yard Sale*

*Closer Look at Surface Rust on Headset and Fork Crown*

*Bottecchia Cottered Crank (coming off soon)*

*Bottecchia Head Bagde - Pretty Clean Chrome Lugs and Fork Crown*

*Frame Cleaned and Chrome Polished*

This is a a variation on a piece from last years tour.  Did not like the previous top pipe but this one is much better scale.
