Dixie Manor Bed and Breakfast—A Custom Built Pierce Dollhouse by Deb Roberts of Deb’s Minis. See more at www.debsminis.com
This is a hand built Ti frame with a custom paint job and custom geometry. Outfitted with Sram Red.
What a pleasure to ride(even if it was just a test ride down the street). It is velvet smooth and very light. Sram had nailed this group. It is extremely light and very responsive. Definitely a step up from the Force group.
This bike weights in at about 16 pounds.

Came out beautiful, reclaimed wood top (built by us) and reused cast iron legs, from the sinks, from a 19-teens former unwed mothers and children's home in Buffalo NY. (a side note: Why was there no home for unwed fathers?...where were they in this situation?...perhaps the Erie County Jail? Maybe a laundry where they could work off their immorality like the ladies might have been apporpriate?)
In our shop at ReUse Action (Reuseaction.com) we fabricate slabs out of the barn beams and building materials we collect from salvage, deconstruction and demolition jobs.
In this project we re-sawed old growth, 3x8 barn joists from Bath NY. They are beautiful old growth southern yellow pine that was cut down in the 1870s-1880s and was hundreds of years old at that time. These trees probably predated the American Revolution. I count about 120 rings per 8 inches!
The slab was built and finished with satin, water-based polyurethane. Nail holes, checks and divots were filled to a high level of finish with West System, clear epoxy.One can see to the bottom of the holes.
The cast iron base was reclaimed from a bathroom of the former unwed mothers and children's house on Harvard Place in Buffalo. It was built in the 19-teens and these legs were ganged together and held up back to back cast iron sinks. We stripped them and repainted them with satin enamel and dry brushed them with pewter paint to highlight the graininess and the embossed letters and other interesting details from the casting.
The distance between the legs was shortened and the threaded rods were shortened and re-threaded to match the length of the table. Matching feet were made and added to the bottom of the legs and levelers were added. The old square head nuts and bolts were saved, cleaned and re-used to preserve the original look.
It is on display in our store and available for $950 in the store. We bases to make 2 more of these, to any length and custom widths and other wood tops. See reuseaction.com

For the sixth year in a row I created a Christmas Lego exhibition for the mall Moldetorget, in down town Molde. This is the third year that we placed it in the window of Norway's oldest photo store, Birkeland Foto AS.
This year I created a Christmas market. You can see a Xmas tree seller, a toy maker, a woman selling food and decorative items and a Pizzeria/Bakery. At the end of the street is a church.
90% of what you see is custom built by me, but there are some models from Lego as well.
Oh, and I also included a lot of film, comics, TV and nerdy references. Can you spot them?

In the endless reaches of the universe, there once existed a planet known as Krypton, a planet that burned like a green star in the distant heavens. There civilization was far advanced, and it brought forth a race of superman, whose mental and physical powers were developed to the absolute peak of human perfection.
But, there came a day when giant quakes threatened to destroy Krypton forever! One of the planet's leading scientist, sensing the approach of doom, placed his infant son in a small rocket-ship, and sent it hurtling in the direction of the Earth, just as Krypton exploded!

If the narration looks familiar, it's because it was taken from the longer intro of the Fleshier Superman cartoons of the 1940's. It took me several shots with variations of lighting and angle to get it to where I was satisfied, and even if the entire set is not shown, I felt this one was the most dynamic of the lot.
