Got an amazing ride in last night on the gravel bike. Rode slow on a familiar local bike path that runs along a river of sorts, but took what I like to call the b-sides. These are the unpaved, lesser traveled local trails that run parallel across the river from the paved path. Spring wildflowers are still popping off everywhere you look and the sunset through the clouds was wild. Feels like a dream haha. Bikes are awesome!

Some roof work ended up covering my ENTIRE garage with fine layer of OSB shards. Cool cool. Got some serious cleanup to do this weekend. Wish I had to foresight to at least cover my small parts bins 🫣. Roof is good now though!

✨You can just draw things and make them✨ I’m realizing a long held dream by building a large drawing table. Needed a space in the garage for fabrication reference drawings. It’s going to hide some tool and small parts storage beneath while able to be be propped up at level for alignment checks of in-process parts against drawings. Still some refinement to do but I’m digging it so far!

Local FB Marketplace has been good recently. Picked up a drill press this week on the cheap. Just being able to make consistently straight holes feels like a huge unlock for the jigs I’ve been making, but thinking maybe I can get this thing cutting rough miters in thin steel tubes too! First some cleaning 🧼

No AC and it really struggled over 45 or so.

Frame building update: I’ve planned all along to flip this down tube with the taper facing out, but now it’s go time and I’m wrestling with it. It’s really meant to face the other direction, with the pointy side up, based on the principles of aerodynamics I guess, but I think it gives a nicer finish at the BB upside down and makes bottle bosses easier to mount on a wider, flatter edge. I can’t imagine it makes much difference in terms of stiffness on oversized tube like this, but will it look weird? 🤔 What do you think?

Bike frame update: Finally found a solid way to scribe a good, round reference line for this aero down tube to bottom bracket junction. Roughed in a cut with a hack saw and filed a bit but wanted a better reference line for filing before I went further. My original cut paper method was too flexy. Refined my DT fixture for a more secure, reliable center position and a bent piece of sharp bronze brazing rod etches into marker well enough on steel. More filing scheduled for this weekend!

Nothing like a fresh set of bearings in the ole eggbeaters. One was completely toast 😂

Struck me that a few taped magnets would be an excellent way to attach this power strip to my standing desk. My cord didn’t quite reach the floor before. Even holds a laptop charger! Adding more magnets to my list for the next hardware store visit.

Rate/roast my trainer setup. I hate this thing but damn it’s convenient for getting some suffering in while things are in the dryer. Fenders for shielding burning rubber from these soft tires and rack for speed ⚡️
