My irreverent Easter contribution.

Oh. My. Goodness. You guys! This weekend's Designers Challenge demonstrates perfectly why this event is NOT to be missed! For this round, our buddy Maxwell Graff of Rustica/Bitch. & Bastard. teamed up with Abel Dreamscape of Morphe Inc. to recreate a stone fireplace.

 

But of course with these two, they couldn't just keep it simple. Nooooooo. They had to go and create the whole set in MESH!! And wow! wow! wow! are they ever beautiful! The only downfall I could see to having either of these sets in your home is that you'd never want to leave! And what perfect timing, too, as most of us are moving into the winter months. I'm in heaven! *curls up in one of the rockers, pulls the blanket from the table, and nods off in mesh bliss* Who needs Calgon when you've got THIS!

Souvent trahissant morphée je flirte avec les aurores, mais seules mes jambes sont éveillées et mon esprit balbutie encore.

Alors la nuit m'accueille et me montre sa vraie couleur. Car la nuit n'est pas noire, elle est couleurs. Oui, elle est couleurs...

Even with the advent of modern press-fit bottom bracket systems and almost a million different bottom bracket standards that have morphed from the introduction of this new method(s) to install crank sets, nothing beats the reliability and user-friendliness of the simple threaded bottom bracket. Spend enough time with old bicycles, and the importance of having access to a good set of bottom bracket taps comes sooner than later.

 

The tap set that we have is a VAR Tools# 77/6 Bottom Bracket Tap. The tap itself is held in a steel shaft of diameter just smaller than a BB shell which is used to help centre the tap. It has a shallow slot milled into one end, to fit into a tap holder. The bench mounted tap holder is cast iron with a hole in it to fit the shaft. A handle above the hole turns a screw which fits into the rod’s slot, preventing the rod from rotating during tapping. The tap holder is normally bench mounted, however with our limited bench space, some steel angle has been attached to the tap holder to be able to be clamped in a vice.

 

A bench mounted tap is much easier to use than hand taps. Having a whole frame gives a lot of leverage to rotate the frame around the tap, a whole lot more leverage than the shorter handles found on hand taps.

 

It is absolutely essential to chase the threads of the bottom bracket shell prior to installing a bottom bracket. This is because the threads are likely to get gunked up during the brazing process, whether it is with dust, flux, or even excess filler rod or slightly deformed from the heating cycles. Furthermore, tapping is recommended after painting a frame, to remove unwanted paint on the BB threads. By chasing the threads, any foreign material is cleaned out, and thus the bottom bracket cups can be installed properly. Chasing is done with taps that match the specific thread of the BB shell.

 

Taps are also useful in scenarios where new BB threads need to be cut. This occasion may arise if the shell threads have been damaged during installation and/or removal of cups. It is a matter of filling the damaged area with brass, then carefully re-cutting new threads into the shell. Or boring out an English BB shell to the Italian BB shell core size and tapping Italian 36mm x 24 TPI threads.

 

It is important to note that English BB shells are 1.37” x 24 TPI. The drive side is left-hand threaded while the non-drive side is right-hand threaded; therefore a separate tap is required for each side. Conversely, Italian shells are 36mm x 24 TPI but both sides are right-hand threaded. French shells? Good luck finding a tap… We have one though - 35mm x 1". T47? Still too new for us.

 

Also, never run the tap dry. Use some form of lubrication to reduce cutting friction helping keep everything cool. Ideally a cutting fluid should be used, but grease or a thicker oil will suffice.

When today’s photo morphed into itself only minutes after I had opened it in Lightroom , my first gleeful reaction was “Banana Sundowner!” I think my brain was telling me that this scene has a tropical flavor to it, which is making me thirsty because, as you can see, it’s absolutely cocktail hour! Hence, a new adult beverage was created: the Banana Sundowner!

 

With confidence now, you can order from the cocktail waitress, “Bring the lady a Banana Sundowner, and I’ll have an IPA.”

Yummy Christmas ormanent

The artroom is behind that door

As the sunlight rests on this tree, it seems it was waiting for lovers to carve their names in the heart the sunlight formed. While the original photo was pretty in color, this image seemed to cry out for B/W to showcase it. The heart on the tree was gone in a flash...morphed into the rays of sunlight elsewhere.

 

Best viewed on Black in Lightbox.

Taken with a Nikon D2H.

Note: The D2H does not have an in-camera setting for B/W.

Right before the Fashion Avenue line died, they morphed into "Beat Street", which was (in my opinion) a nod to the "urban" vibe of the Bratz dolls. If I'm not mistaken, that was around the time of the My Scene line's debut. Thus, a big theme among the My Scene and Beat Street (end of Fashion Avenue) sets is platform shoes.

 

I repainted these shoes to resemble my plaid pair of Volatile platform sneakers, which have been one of my signatures for many years. I finally had to retire them this year, after 6 years of loyal service, because the straps were wearing out. I'll see about getting pics of the me-sized shoes.
