Details will follow, but you can look forward to long runs on various weekends, journaling and taking photos as we go. Plus I get [...]
Video Preview: Sunday in the Park with George
This week has been a rough, long week, but a week that has been worth it. Usually teching shows during the summer at Blackfriars is a breeze, but not this year. Here is a little video I made last night of select portions of the songs during one of our final rehearsals for Sunday in [...]
Tommy Part 2: Achy, Tired & Seeing Double
The other half of me actually dedicating my time to TOMMY of actually being in the show, was working on the numerous amount of projections in the show. Around 3 months ago I was approached by the director Jack to start designing the projections. Because of the vary rock, trippy, 60′s nature of this show [...]
Capt. America Bobber: Day 10
Well, even though this is marked as Day 10, it is also a bit of extra time and days stuck in between. Due to extracurricular activities I have been restricted from actually being able to spend build time on the bike. Well on Saturday I put a couple hours in so I could fit the [...]
Capt. America Bobber: Day 9
Today was the day I was actually looking forward to. (okay actually it was Saturday, but nonetheless) Today we got to rip the engine out of the frame. Ok it wasn’t a rip, but thanks to good friends and helping hands Jose and Rich we started off and had the engine out and mounted within [...]
Capt. America Bobber: Day 8
Day 8 proved to be a little more productive! Not much work had to be done to get the left side wishbone in place and tacked up, center cross bar was put in as well. Rough tacked the wishbone so I had the angles when I remove the engine. Welds will be final and taken [...]
Capt. America Bobber: Day 7
Day 7 was a humbling day. A day that reconfirmed two things: 1)There truly is a tool for every job, preferably the right tool. 2)I really need to get back to practicing my welds again. After spending some time yesterday bending the bars for the wishbone on an antique tube bender (the kind that requires [...]
Capt. America Bobber: Day 6
After a hiatus for the holidays, I was back in action. Today I focused primarily on getting the parts mocked up and ready to complete the rear wishbone to the swingarm. However during my initial cutting I screwed up and cut off to much of the cross bar. This meant I was stuck welding small [...]
Capt. America Bobber: Video 1
A quick video shot from my iPhone4 (720p) shows the progress of the bike project and a little bit of my shop. I also borrowed a friends 1080p camera and will work on that as well. Work on the bike has stopped until January, after the holidays are done. Side note: Working on streaming, self [...]
Capt. America Bobber: Day 5
Thanksgiving weekend ended up being a pretty lazy crapshoot for me. Most of it was spent being lazy on the couch watching films from my childhood with my girls. I did however manage to get off my duff and throw a couple hours at the bike build. I took out all the wiring, front fender, [...]
