Captain's Personal Log, the "Enterprise B" has been repaired and Captain Harriman and his crew are returning to their own dimension. I don't know if I believe their story, but I wish them the best. All the same, something about the way Harriman reacted to me made me personally uncomfortable.

Task Completed, you can see the adjusting nut on the end of the anchor pin has been fitted, this squeezes the new top hat bush we had custom machined up against the side of the road springs and stops any lateral movement. The pipe going into the anchor pin is the auto lube which will keep the pin and bush inside fed with oil to limit wear. Graham will now descend on the whole area and touch up the paintwork.

The left glove resting on a stand I made by "tracing" my own hand in three dimensions with a heavy gauge wire.

A few more minor bits and it'll be ready for the shakedown ride:

 

- chain

- RD cable

- brake lever hoods (Weinmann, gum rubber-- these are hard to come by!)

- bar tape

- Weinmann top tube brake cable clip (I'm short one, which is rusted a bit beyond redemption)

- toe clips and straps

Well I gave up on trying to fake concete with styrofoam and just used the real thing, although the aggregate is a little big for the scale...and he's a bit too close to the background back anyway, it's good to finally have it done.

I have FINALLY finished my tattoo.. Isn't it pretty. It's a little red still becasue I pretty much just did it but I am very happy with it.. leave me comments.. what do you think...

My custom built 10x6 Bubinga snare drum with Brass/Gold hardware is now complete. The two brass Allen bolts have finally arrived for the custom built logo badge (WA). Sounds as good as it looks.

This is a portrait of Three Eagles who was Nez Perce. It is taken from a historical archive of native American pictures. I love the faces and names of so many of the peoples of this wonderful culture.

The image was woodburned onto a small 7.5 inch X 5.5 inch plaque. The wormwood border was crafted artificially with a Dremmel Moto tool. The piece is stained with an acrylic and ink wash.

This is a complete build around our F5Pista frameset. Every so often we get a chance to put together a bike just how we'd like it... and here is a prime example. It's elegantly understated with a sandblasted and clear-coat raw frame that has a textured, almost gunmetal, surface.

 

Major components:

 

56cm F5Pista. Black lugged fork.

Tange bottom bracket, Dia Compe headset

48T Classic track crankset

H+Son TB-14 laced to Gran Compe Hubs

Gum-wall tyres

Cut risers with front brake

Cutout saddle with studded profile saddle.

Its 22"D x 42"W x 30"H, the drawer is 20" W x 18"D x 2 3/4"H with a solid maple floating bottom and dovetailed corner joints.

All done! As I was lacing the dress I made sure to tighten along each cross of the ribbon so not to stress the little lace loops too much.

These two are the funniest to watch, Mia can't help but plonk herself on every cat and because she's so adorable they never seem to mind! I often see these two on my bed like this.

 

Studying for A levels at the moment, so that's why I've been so absent! I WILL catch up, just after my last exam :) hope all are ok!

 

Have a great weekend.

Woo Hoo! Finally finished seaming together the Bernat Bamboo Crochet Vest. Lovely, soft yarn. :) Here is the free pattern: www.bernat.com/pattern.php?PID=5005

This lovely example of the classic Yashica 635 TLR arrived today, complete with its case and the matching, small leather case in the piccie which contains the camera's 35mm conversion kit. In all these years, I had never noticed the blue background colour of the Yashica roundel on top of the viewfinder.

The good points:

- Nice taper.

- Tight plaiting.

- Straight seams.

- Tight hitch.

- Tight binding.

- Nicely shaped cane.

- Firm TH foundation.

- Tight connection between handle and thong.

- It seems to crack well.

 

The bad points:

- Will have to think again about hide utilization in order to prevent strand stretching, and unevenness in the set.

- It is not a good idea to splice a bolster, at least not at this point.

- Neither it is a good idea to do a lot of splicing unless it is absolutely necessary.

- The keeper in the thong is a bit short and tight.

- The keeper in the handle is a bit long, giving a distorted appearance.

- Transition from checkerboard to four or six seam wasn't that neat.

- Some stitches were missing near the beginning of the thong.

- The lace for the TH wasn't of an appropriate size.

 

All in all, I think the problems had to do with aesthetical issues (due to very little experience) and not much about functional ones. I still need to make a video to show how it performs.

assembled pivot plus those friction dampers .Most Moulton bicycle enthusiasts will be aware that in the sixties Alex Moulton equipped many of his prototypes and racing bikes with

rear friction dampers to allow fine-tuning of the rear suspension.

The units were adjustable with C spanners to stiffen up the ride quality to the riders requirements.

The very earliest machines including safari models were fitted with a single component but the S range and speedsix had the luxury of twin dampers when they were hand built.

This very desirable performance accessory has for decades been impossible to obtain and has only recently been faithfully reproduced and made available to enthusiasts.

The parts are made in England in superior Stainless Steel and are ready to fit and enjoy.

Any sporting F Frame will benefit from this enhancement. Also available wil be a complete range of Stainless Steel pivot parts including special bolts for use with large chain rings. These will be available with all necessary bushes in hard wearing engineering plastic. This limited run of quality components are produced in a light engineering factory exclusively for us. It really is British engineering. Keep looking in for further performance parts for your sporting machine.

Finally completed my Razor 10/22 clone. I bought an 80% completed receiver from Select Fire LLC. Finished up the receiver by drilling all the remaining necessary holes, and installing the rest of the parts to make a complete rifle. No serial #, no FFL paperwork, no ten day wait, and perfectly legal.
