Brad, I remember your videos/pictures with all of the buckets. I like to use storage bins from walmart for the same purpose. It's gonna be a bit before I'm "set". When the property is paid off in 5 years, I'm going to have to save up for a new house to put on it. The current house will have to...

@undertoad I totally get it! I lived in Washington state- the wet side- for 10 years. There's a reason I moved back to the desert after my wife passed. Things can survive out here, even though winters. And @jonrev thank you sir! It's definitely going to take lots of time, but I'm not in a hurry.

Well, after 2 years living in a rental where I didn't feel comfortable working in my garage due to a very strict landlady, and on top of it being super busy rebuilding my life after the loss of my wife 3.5 years ago... I bought a house! It's 2/3 Acre out in the middle of the desert and I have...

Those self contained handheld welders are an awful gimmick. There's no way I want to hold the WHOLE WELDER for that long. Buy a cheap "normal" welder for $75 or so. https://www.amazon.com/TOOLIOM-Machine-Inverter-Digital-Portable/dp/B09HZYV9J3 <-- $67.99 for a welder, and it'll do what you want.

Good to see AZ/CZ still going strong Brad!

WOOT!!!

Hey, great to see a rebrand and new stuff! Right on dude.

Hey everyone, I've been MIA for a while. I've moved to Nevada and I just love being in the desert. I did 1.63 miles in 22 minutes at an average of 4.3mph. And I loved it! The Tri-Meridian has been disassembled since the move in August, and I barely touched it before that because in Western WA...

Hi everyone, We here in the AZ Crew know we aren't limited to building mobile things- we can build stationary things too! and I did. I've got a 6 foot table I use for a ham radio and electronics workbench (my "ham shack") and it has needed a second tier for some time. There's just not enough...

Hey everyone, My sister in law loves dinosaurs like crazy, so I got the idea to use scrap bike parts and left over metal from my trike build to make her a dinosaur. Here it is before paint: The tail is a fork leg, the body is a kids bike, the neck is a seat post, the head is two seats. The...

Hey guys and gals, I ran across this build and ended up binge watching all 11 episodes! This guy builds an articulating dump truck powered by a 13hp Harbor Freight engine, and it's epic. Lots of salvaged parts and outside the box thinking. He also talks a lot about tools and techniques. I...

Yes, that's right- it's DONE. That doesn't mean there isn't more to do, but it means that my biggest hurdle: getting it to where I can just hop on it and go for a ride! has been cleared. And that'sexactly what I did today. It was only about half a mile, and I have a feeling there will be little...

I thought I'd look into better hubs for my trike build, ones with disk brakes. Better but also still very cheap. And since this is a fat tire bike, nothing is cheap! To Ebay we go. I found a pair of hubs for $99 that I could get but only if I didn't have to go spend another $60 on spokes! So I...

Hey everyone, I saw this on HackADay, and just had to share: https://hackaday.com/2019/09/20/steam-bike-rocks-it-old-school/ A very neat build one major feature: Steam power! Check it out and watch the video :)

Hi everyone, In 2008 I built a Meridian, and not much later I had to sell it :( I also got rid of all my metal working tools and all bike related stuff, save for a few odds and ends. For the last few years I've been keeping an eye out at garage sales for tools and parts, and I've finally...
