Thanks dude.

The parents already have a whole hardwired network setup in the building and don't want to add another branch to it. There is a hub with an open port fairly close by that will require minimal work for me to run the cable.

Yeah I need a good stool for the bench... I want to grab one of these, maybe someone can get it for me for christmas

That's been hanging there for like three months... you're even slower on here than you are on your bike.

Thanks a lot buddy

The wreck has turned out fine... got a lot of parts and a full track setup (I think I'll be keeping the street stuff so after I'm done racing the bike I can put it back to stock and sell it mint, then sell all the trick parts... should make mad $$). I'll race the bike for a few years at least methinks.

Bump

Grabbed a fridge for under the workbench for 'beverages'




Had some home depot credit so I picked up this sweet drill press, should be great for safety wiring:




Buddy's new race tard will be chilling in here for the winter, and we'll be doing plenty of work to it to pass the winter months:



My best bud just got married and I was the best man... as a best man gift he had this sweet sign made up... pretty cool gift!



Now it's flanked by two of the greatest riders ever:

I agree,oh and I would brace the legs of your bench just because I'm weird and WAY over engineer everything.

Thanks dude... I don't really think I"ll bother to paint/stain the legs. I might though. I'd just do em white I guess. Maybe this winter if I get bored.

If you look closely you'll notice there is a board bracing the two legs to eachother, and then another board in the back that runs from the rear leg across the back to the cabinets, so everything is braced.

It's pretty much done. I do have plans for portions of the main basement of the building as well

Mostly in my part I just need to organize all my tools and stuff.

Kat makes a good point that is a biggggg difference. If we think back to the before pics until now damnnnnnn. I have a habit of going to the last page and working my way back sometimes. If some of the new peeps haven't started from the 1st page it's worth a look at the progress. Also the bike crash and rebuild all at the same time


once again that sign is the shit I want one for my shed and it's just full of junk
