Rusty Phoenix Motors

  I've wanted to try this for a while now. How do you think it turned out?!? I think it turned out fanatastic! Love it. Going to be using this process again to make more of these! It was actually pretty easy with some basic tools. Still need to polish it up and make it shine, but you get the idea! What other parts should I custom form out of aluminum? Kinda toying with the idea of building custom fenders, but I don't have an english wheel anymore. Links to the engine parts I ended up ordering!

  It's FINALLY happening. The bike is FINALLY being put together for the last time! My son took it for his "first ride"- as a strider bike. Seems like it's going to fit him well! How do YOU think it's turning out? I'm *LOVING* the colors and how it's all coming together! Enjoy the show! I squashed 4 hours worth of work down into 11 minutes!

  This dirtbike is finally taking shape! Only had one minor "oops" on it this time... easily fixed with a few minutes and a couple of bolts. This "restoration" has taken too long but I'm having so much fun! Excited to see my son take it for a ride this spring! I gave up on the plan to re-use the original top end. I found a complete top end kit on Amazon. And when I say complete, I mean it! It had the cylinder, piston, head, valves, cam, all the gaskets, and everything else! I unbox it here! Let me know what you think!

  So... I made a mistake. Maybe I'm just too liberal with the blowtorch. I had some stuck bolts, and figured I'd use the torch to heat them up to break them loose... But the engine was sitting in a plastic oil pan full of carb cleaner and vapors. It INSTANTLY lit on fire, and it was BIG!!! Thankfully got out of it with no burns and no real damage to the shop, other than some oil stains on the floor and a ruined blanket. And, a melted oil pan... But hey, we're slowly getting somewhere!

  Blast from the past- dug this one out of the archives! I apologize in advance for the filming and quality... But its funny. I've got a 1955 John Deere 60 tractor. It came with the house when I bought it, and the tractor hadn't run in a few years. It has an ANCIENT Farmhand front end loader on it. I had no clue what I was doing, but I got it started, and it seemed to run decent. Wanted to move it somewhere easier to work on so I tried lifting the bucket up, and it was working... until...

  So my work space right now is less than ideal. As in, I have a basement workshop. And I want to paint. And paint stinks. And my wife has a really good nose... Enter the "gimmick" I've seen Tik Toks, reels, and videos on already... The home made air purifier! Super easy to make! If you already have a box fan, the filters should cost you less than $25!!!
