Frame number 9! Matte black powder coat. Polished stainless seat tube. Sandblasted logo.

When I moved to my neighborhood I became interested in the nearby public art. After some digging I reached out to get involved. On Friday I worked on restoring three tagged murals.

Full frame process shots

Process detail on the head tube- the flux keeps the braze clean and helps protect the metal from heat. Brass is used to join the tubes and cleaned up with some filing.

Process detail on a top tube - seat tube junction. A carved slip ring is joined by brass to the top tube. Silver joins the polished stainless steel seat tube.

Ask me what I did this weekend

May the fourth be with you. #starwarsday #maythe4thbewithyou

Recap from the past semester of teaching.

A new bike in the works #custombike #steelisreal (at Bridgeport, Chicago)

Sunny days + no more snow = photo shoot opportunity

Belt buckle number 2, for my uncle.

Sunny warm winter day without snow? Test ride.

3. Learning powder coating

Finished! With a cyan powder coat and matte black logo, first time for me to take a frame through this final step.

4. Masked logo for paint.

Welded belt buckle paired with some raw leather for a gift.
