Help me choose.  The left one might be stretched 2in. and the right would be shrunk 2in.

Look Harder

So I'm not a big basket ball kinda guy, but a bud of mine got some really nice free tickets to a BYU game and wanted to hang out.  
Classic BYU Zoob
Where's Waldo?

So this is my first stab at TIG brazing.  I saw it on the Lowbrow video I got for my advanced welding students, and I was blown away.  I had never heard of it before, so I ordered a few pounds and well it wasn't too bad, I wish I had more time to practice this stuff.

Christmas present gone terribly wrong for my sister.  I was turning a Cherry and Purple Heart salt and pepper grinder set. The Cherry grinder blew up on me, only after 8+ hours into it.  It was going to be totally tight with the Celtic knot in it.  I told my sis that I would finish it before the end of this year (2011) and get them to her later. 

Just a small elk project for a bud of mine.  After I cut it out I took an abrasive disc and polished it up.  I then took the torch and did some heat affected blueing. Not bad, well the picture sucks, sorry.

What the Long time

So I have been meaning to post this bike pic for some time now.  This was taken the end of November after we (Brady) got the carbs all nice.  It was 22degrees out side.  I could not feel my fingers at all, but it was pretty rad.  Brady's clutch cable crapped out on him during the ride, and that was pretty dang fun.

I could not help my self when I saw this.  I was at the thrift store and this was like finding gold.  It seems to be some super old ski suit.  Jacket and Bib combo!  I was thinking some cold bike ride material, also a lady killer on the slopes!  The best part is the butt is all sorts of stretched out, my wife said and I quote "You got junk in that trunk, like you could fit a basket ball back there."
