Productivity, Efficiency.. these are not the vocabulary of a craftsman, they are attempts to apply spreadsheet logic to a human process.

#henrywildeberry mixes damn fine sixties tuneage with a video about changing his forks on his frame build #mtbcycling #framebuilding . I really enjoy this channel a lot 🚲❤️
See a brief discussion of the classic 'diamond' bicycle frame at freebikerepair.com/diamond-frame ( #bicycle, #bikeFrame, #bicycleFrame, #diamondFrame, #bicycleTechnology, #bicycleDesign, #frameDesign, #bikeFrameDesign, #frameBuilding, #bicycleFrameBuilding)
"Rust Worms" on a steel bicycle frame. Sometimes, when water gets under the paint on steel, it will slowly form intricate brown patterns which resemble the tunneling of worms. (Bicycle seat stay)

Whilst refamiliarising myself with the foibles of #framebuilding, I tackled some of the #rust.
Turns out #powdercoating is a silly treatment for #bike frames because water inevitably gets under it, and then it just hides the rust...
BUT it has created some rather fine #rustworms!
Two time-separated photos of the same area of a bicycle frame. The first shows some neatly-filed fillet brazing, but with a crack through the brass; the second shows a somewhat less tidy bit of brazing, but there is no more crack.
It's been a few years since I had a jolly fun flirtation with #bicycle #framebuilding so was sad last year when one of my frames developed a crack (probably because we didn't know what we were doing...) but then I found a friendly neighbour with a gas torch! #Oxypropane FTW! #brazing #STEELISREAL
A photograph I took in the 1980's of my touring bike, "Leah", during a small tour of the Maine coast. The frame was built by me.
Here's something I haven't talked about yet. This is "Leah", my touring bike in shot I took while touring Maine. Equus? Never heard of it. Cos I built it. Made about a dozen frames but never could make a life out of it. #bicycle #bicyclephotography #believeinfilm #touring #framebuilding #steelisreal
Big big frame.

A photo of a very messy, disorganized, and cluttered artist studio shed. Pieces of wood haphazardly laid around a workbench with miter saw. Paintings, books, tools, boxes, and hornets nests fill the space.
I probably shouldn’t share this, but here we go. This is the current state of my studio. It absolutely reflects the current state of my entire being. I’m not sure how to dig myself out. Advice? #burnout #studio #artstudio #artistspace #motherartist #studioshed #framebuilding #artist #painter

It's not everyday that I get to dust off the 1" crown race facer.
Did you know that for the 1" steerer tube standard there are TWO crown race seat standards? 26.4 and 27.0. Fun!

Cleaning up the stainless badges on this rim brake road bike fork!
I've tried making these before paint, but cleaning them up after makes for much much crisper lines.
