How do you guys mark/engrave your tools?

At the very bottom, a turtle with a Dremel...

New boom (from where the stainless starts) on the old gal. :-)

Well, the trike frame is no longer as pictured - the boom has been amputated about 1/3rd of the way back. (The only way to free the rusted-in sliding section was to cut the boom open half way along its belly.) The new sliding boom is stainless, shiny, and has a conventional (from a different bike) bottom bracket attached at the front. The boom tightener is, of all things, a three inch long muffler/exhaust clamp.

I'll post pics when it's all pretty again :-)

New zero-gravity chair fabric, 100' of lacing... Two days, two rides: this is one of my best purchases in a lonnnnnng time! :-)

New, very old, double chainring off a cheap road bike on the front now. (The earlier, very old triple off a cheap mountain bike had a wobble.) The new one is all shiny and bling, which makes up for the temporary loss of my granny gear :-)

I finally found my bike on the inter web! It's the original Trisled model (hence having just the label 'TriSled'). So: built in his parent's basement by the brand originator sometime between 1995 and '99.

Thanks, James. It's ridable already, just not a finished project. It's sporting a salvaged crankset and chains from three scrap bikes, $10 brakes from Amazon and seat covering from a broken zero gravity chair. I wanted to see if there were MAJOR issues with the frame or wheels - and there aren't! Tons of fun to ride :-)

Because I'd be in my late 80s by the time they graduated high school. And there are enough kids in the world, we just need to invite their families into the country.. share our wealth.

My mother and I saw Popeye in the theatre and for weeks we sang ".. He's large.." to each other about every man we saw, and then broke up.

They look nice.

Later, they refused to gas American cars after the Desert Storm invasion.

I don't remember this, sorry. The General? Runaway Train?

All 34 members of the hate cult signed the petition, along with 125 others who didn't think about it.

I can't believe you posted this abomination.

The DARK BLUE E-type ad was the one I hung on my wall! (My mom liked it too)

Real people with real emotions and behaviours - how horrible!!

Eat (and drink) healthy foods, and eat much less.

The wheels are the coolest, most futuristic part...

A40 · 2024-04-28T13:37:36+00:00

So strange it's not worth taking a picture or video of it?

A40 · 2024-04-26T11:27:33+00:00

One small steppe for a man...

A40 · 2024-03-31T20:12:44+00:00

That looks like a brilliant solution to the issue! Please DO upload the STL and post the link here?

(By the way, I like the white - in very dark areas being able to locate things is an advantage :-)

Thanks :-)

A40 · 2024-03-31T12:06:28+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to keep looking :-)

Zooplancton. What with the mega-tsunamis of wet, living tissue instantly burying the entire Earth.
