Build Thread: Kiwi Madness

Thanks man.
I been following your goodness on another site.
Some good shit you got going on.

Quantity over quality now.

Your details never cease to steal hours from my life. Every single piece of that bike has GOT to be a work of art.

Unbelievable workmanship. I feel like Bill Murry in an old Saturday night live skit. What the hell is that, I know what that is, that's a.... What the hell is that. Don't put your lips on it.

Skit here > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV7Qz640OeM

I have 4 boxes of "What the hell is that".
When I rummage in them and pull something out I often say that to myself before remembering.
Here is one of them tipped out.

Thanks man but they are really only details because I show them.
They will not be noticed by anyone but us.

Oh yes they will! Just wait, everywhere you go you will have to leave an hour early just to answer questions once you park!

yeah, what he said!!

I'd be real happy to take some of those boxes off your hands.

Ha ha.
Thanks heaps guys for the nice words.

The flip side of the air cleaner.



And got some mounts on for the tool tin.

Acid will get the rest of the enamel out.

I'm a metal fabricator by trade and I can hardly comprehend some of the stuff you are doing. If there is someone else out there doing anything like what you are I would be surprised. Your style is total class. Every single pice is amazing, I just sit here and stare at the pics and just say Wow.

That's some heavy duty props man, thanks.
Your kind words mean alot.

Tony, your attention to detail never ceases to amaze me! I am getting a little better tooled up all the time. I might take your suggestion on the last couple of sets of rocker nuts. I was thinking of using liberty dimes. Did you do the seat as well??

Na man, I not that handy with leather.
Allen I dunno about doing a whole set it might seem a bit busy?
Heads and tails on 2 maybe?

...in spades. The Japanese have a word for the perfection that lives in imperfection, and this work is brimming with it: Wabi-sabi.

You obviously have the skills to make stuff super 'perfect'--shiny, symmetrical, evenly polished, concentric, etc., but you choose instead to make the pieces interesting. They have the patina of your thought process baked right in.

Fucking brilliant. Just really neat stuff.

Not that I'm the first to say it, but I'm like a few others here--I don't think I care for the style of some of the stuff, per se, but I'm definitely full of admiration for the vision and execution you're bringing together. (And what the hell do I know?)

Makes me feel like an enormous dork for lagging on my pretty simple build.

Your first post and you got it.

Allen I dunno about doing a whole set it might seem a bit busy?

What about Indian head Nickel and Liberty dime? Heads on one side tails on the other.

I'm sitting on the fence man.
Anymore than 2 I feel would be too busy. But look who's talking.
Go for it.

seems I've taught you well lol
this is looking killer man i how long have you been working on this?
keep the porn flowing
