Upgrade time...

In desperate need of an upgrade for my welder... Right now using Flux wire which is ok for very small jobs and great to learn on but I'm now in the need for Shielded gas and my current welder does not accept gas...

I found this Eastwood Mig135 for a great price and comes with everything except the tank of gas. The reviews on it are very solid too...

Even comes with .023 wire which is probably to thin but at least they include it plus the regulator for the tank... Might be the next purchase...

For free...

Well I wanted to get a legit bike lift but just cant see me spending $500 + on something when I won't be using it all the time.. Well a good friend of mine said he had one and wasn't using it, its just sitting outside and has been for quite a while he said... I'll give it to you for free....FREE!!! Can't pass that up no matter how bad it might look from being outside for so long...

Needs a little love but should look good in no time...

Lifts the shovel with ease...

I think it needs more fluid in it but once again... for free... how could you complain...

Primary cover for belt drive...

So if your running a closed primary belt drive you will need to make sure you have proper venting for the belt so it lives a long time and is protected from debris... Scored this Outter cover for a steal...

Tool Chest...

Well after being a cheap ass for a few years and not wanting to take up the space I realized it was finally time to get a proper tool chest.. I was looking for the right deal and a good name brand too because some out there are just shit... I'm not going to drop 10k on a snap on tool box since this isn't my living...

Found this Husky 9 Drawer with 50lb ball bearing drawers online for $179.00.. So I called up one of the many Home Depot's around and found that they had one more in stock on the floor... Here is the best part... This sumbitch was dented on top and scratched so marked down to $96.00... Thats about 50% off... Sometimes waiting does pay off..

You cant even see the damage without knowing where it is...

I think I gots it...

Well ladies.... Thanks once again to Hard Life Bikes... I just struke a deal for a 2000 FXR4... Needs some assembly but then again what doesn't...

The tins dont do much for me but not a big deal... I will paint them sunzabitches the color of my choice...

Lift me up...

Alright a year ago I built a nice bike table which I have used the hell out of but I plan to use that for more long term projects as it can be rolled around but I'm now in the market for an actual bike lift... I just dont want to spend the crazy prices... If you know of somebody looking to get rid of theirs for a cheap price... let a nigga know son...  I might have a deal goin through soon but we shall see....


Here is the table I built for well under $100.... Thing has been great!!!

A new helper around the shop...

Well just picked this bad boy up last week... I have checked every review I could on it and everybody agree's... One of the best tools you can have for the hobbyist... I wouldn't say you could build a home with the thing but it will do whatever you want.

Rockwell Bladerunner:


It cuts:
Wood
Metal
Tile
Plastic
Etc...

I just sent 16ga metal through it and it cut it like a hot knife through butter... Now I will be able to make cleaner brackets, tabs, etc...

Easy as pie to load the blades and to set up... 6 different speed settings. It uses T-shank blades so you can get them at any hardware store...I'm using Bosch...

They often say the best tool is the one that does the job you need at the time... Found it right here...

New Year.... New trips...

Alright... Happy New Year and all that fucking garbage... Just another 12 months of shit to look forward to.... However here are a few events that I will be hitting with some kick ass buds that make the good times even better...


This is a must attend event...
If you have never been to this then you have no idea what you are missing... Just a free for all party and killa time... You need to ride to this motha unless your primary chain blows up and cracks your inner primary... That is the only excuse on why you cant ride there...

Went to this for the first time last year and really not worth it but since I'm from Brooklyn just makes sense for me have another excuse to go home and see family and friends with the bike...

Bike week with only half of the assholes...


There are some other misc local events that I will probably hit but these are the big ones that I will work hard to make sure I attend... Safe riding out there kids... Remember safety first...
