In early July a close friend of mine asked me to make him a dress for a friend’s upcoming wedding. As a huge contra dance fan and a resident near Asheville, NC, it was imperative to him that the skirt be extremely full, ready for a long contra set and many spins. The voluminous pleated skirt, mixed with his desire for a traditional style western shirt made this design an irresistible challenge.
He bought the fabrics and fasteners he wanted, sent them to me, and I got to work. Luckily Julian happens to be almost the exact same size and isn’t opposed to wearing the occasional dress, so he stood in as my fit model. A few days and many pleats later and the dress was finished, complete with paisley details, brass snaps, some deep pockets, and a bronze belt buckle that Chrome kindly sent my way.
After a quick photo shoot it was shoved into an envelope and sent off to North Carolina, where I have word that it spun the night away at that wedding.
MARVELOUS
Fuck, this is amazing!!!! I want to see approximately 5000% more men in dresses that are actually fitted to their bodies.
Also, from one seamstress to another: A+ pleat work.
@thebibliosphere
Oh! This is lovely!
@fozmeadows I think about your long-ago post lamenting the lack of non-gendered dresses nearly every week. This came up on my dash today! 💖
POCKETS
I really hope to encounter this dress at one of the contra dances in the Asheville, NC area my wife and I regularly attend.

I wish I had some pictures to share from my first trail ride here in western NC, but I was too enraptured to stop to take any. I did a ~9 mile, 90 minute ride. The first 60 minutes was a fire road loop, the first 25 minutes of which was climb (~400 feet), followed by 15 minutes of descent (could have been faster, but some areas of mixed use trail have speed limits) followed by 20 minutes of mixed flat and light ascent. When I got back to the trail head I decided I wasn’t done so I went out for another 30 minute out and back on some single track. Very cool stuff. I’ll try to snap some pics next time.
Oh, and MapMyRide? Bullshit I only burned 550 calories.
Sneak peek at a fundraiser donation for an amazing NW organization!! (at Echo Hill Forge)

Yeah, I’m still alive. Still a bit of sorting and regaining of sanity to do before I start posting on the regular again. I’m just rebloging this so I can find it later.
B is for Bleh. If you've been wondering about the lack of updates of late there are two main reasons behind it. 1) The move! As you can see from the picture above life is a bit chaotic right now. We leave Tuesday next week. It will take a little time to settle in but I'm going to have a lot to tell you about Asheville. 2) Lyme disease. My little parting gift from Connecticut. It just destroyed my stamina. And as an added bonus the antibiotics used to treat it make me very sun sensitive meaning I can't really spend extended time in the sun without getting burnt pretty easily. Fun, especially while trying to pack a house. But hey, I'm on the mend and after next week I'll be somewhat settled in, and we'll get back to our regularly scheduled programming.

B is for Boat. We spent our final Fourth of July on the river. We found an ideal spot to view the New Haven fireworks. Not only could we see the fireworks going off and see them reflected in the water but we could see the launches as well. That's my friend Lars in the foreground and Ingrid on the SUP in the background. There was another canoe of three in our little flotilla, not pictured. This almost makes up for the Lyme disease CT decided to give me as a send off. (Three weeks to wheels up!)
B is for Blacksmith. Another peek at some work for my upcoming show at Three Sheets in New Haven (July 8th for the locals). Steel and copper look so nice together!

Some musings on my first time building my own bike up from bare frame.
1) I learned more from routing the cables than anything. Conceptually I understood what the cables do. But I now know how and why. I’ve often had trouble adjusting my derailleurs, requiring a lot of trial and error. But now, having run those cables and knowing their twists and turns I at least have a better starting point for those adjustments.
2) As with many other things, I learned more from my mistakes than my successes. Putting something on in what seems to be the intuitive position only to realize later it’s backwards or upside down. You learn why it is the way it is in a way you wouldn’t if you’d been right the first time.
3) There is a unique satisfaction in completing the build and taking the new bike out for a ride. It carries echoes of the first time riding a two wheeler unassisted.
4) More-so than any bike I’ve ever ridden this is MY BIKE. Yes, the Long Haul Trucker was built up to my exact spec. But someone else built it. It was still a thing I bought. I built up the space horse.
5) This is sort of an addendum to the last item. Given the path I’m on with metal working, and given the satisfaction I’ve derived from building up this bike, I wonder how long until I go ahead and take one of those workshops to build my own frame...
It works. #bike #bikes #cycling
B is for Bike! Holy crap y'all, I built a bike! I've still got some adjustments to make to get the cable lines right and dial the fit. But it is a rideable, functional bike that shifts and brakes and everything! I've always had a pretty good idea how all my components worked. I do my own adjustments and such. But now I really get how it all fits together. This was a great experience. Hopefully I can get it mostly dialed in this evening so I can take it out tomorrow!

B is for Bike. Getting very close. The brake and shift cables are threaded through the bars. I need a few cable stops to finish it up. The LBS is closed Mondays, so I'll have to wait one more day.

Most of my followers here aren’t in the New Haven, CT area, so you won’t have the opportunity to come see my work at the upcoming Art in the Back, Music in the Front, July 8th at Three Sheets in New Haven. I decided to snap a couple of shots of one of my completed pieces for the show to share with all of you here. I haven’t named this yet (open to suggestions). it’s made from 1-1/2″ x 1/4″ steel bar and 3/8″ copper rod, all hand forged and filed (except for the leaf holes, which I did with the drill press for a few reasons).
B is for Bike. The Space Horse is coming along. Derailleurs hung, chain installed, brakes mounted, some temporary rubber on the wheels. I need to adjust the front derailleur, install the cables and housing, fit it and tune it all up, and it's ready to ride. Current favorite potential name: Galactic Pony Express (considering Pony Gal as a nickname, but I should probably check that in urban dictionary first).
B is for Bike. I'm taking ten minute breaks through the day to put this together. It's starting to look like a bike. Hitting a couple hiccups with one or two components. Nothing I can't work through, but I might need to order one or two bits.
B is for Bike! It's here! It's here! Does this count as new bike day? Or is that not till it's built?

I’m having an art show before I leave New Haven and it’s at my favorite bar! How cool is that? Blacksmithing, beer, and music (two out of three B’s ain’t bad).
It is done.
The Long Haul Family Truckster was boxed up and shipped to an eager rider in Chattanooga, TN and the All City Space Horse frame has been ordered. A pair of SunRingle CR-18s have been laced up to my Paul touring hubs. I’ll probably take some time today to give all my components a good wash so they’re ready to be installed as soon as the frame arrives. Hopefully I can get it built up, tuned, and fit with enough time to sell my Jamis before the move.
Oh, that’s right, in case you didn’t know, we’re moving. The deposit has been placed on a new apartment. Ingrid has a job interview next week. So long, New England. Asheville, NC, here we come!
