alignment table designed

So I believe I have a feasible design for the cabinet that makes up my alignment table. It is probably more than I need. There are not too many tool and accessories that go with this system, but it will allow me to keep other framebuilding tools and jigs to be stored away neatly. Above are a couple of drawings of said cabinet. I think that I am just going to build it paint grade and brush some color on it. After all, it's just supposed to be utilitarian.

part 2 of 2009

We are now into the second half of this year. Originally I had hoped to iron out all the logistics for the business and be well into some projects by now. That isn't the way it has been but I won't let that discourage me. It just means that I have to do both in the remaining months. I don't mind! Lately, I have become quite adapt to the ability of segmenting my time for different things. I will be building the cabinet for my alignment table and will have some tubes coming shortly.

what coming up?

I have a nice piece of granite that I got a great deal on from a local top guy I know. It is about 25" X 50". I am going to get Joe Bringheli to make me a bottom bracket post for it and then I will have a very nice alignment table. Being that I am a cabinetmaker, I see no problem finding someone to build a cabinet to put under that top with a layout that will suit my needs.

My first bike will be one that I will never sell! I wouldn't be able to justify it in any way. It is going to be a lugged single speed with track dropouts and a wishbone seatstay rear. It will be silver brazed and I hope to also make a fork for it as well. I will keep you posted as things more forward.

802 Cycles it is

Well, I received my certificate in the mail from the state. They have registered Eight Zero Two Cycles as my tradename. As of June 1, 2009. Seems like a long time coming, but well worth the wait. Time to pull together all my lose ends and get things moving forward. There will now be a lot more post here on the work that I am doing. Stay tuned....
