When my wife and I bought our “forever” home, we knew there was quite a bit of work to be done to make it our own. We started by tackling some of the easier projects like painting rooms and updating trim and eventually moved onto buildouts. The first of those was our entryway bench. AfterContinue reading “DIY Built-in Bookcase Home Library”

Yamaha V Star 1100 Bobber: Custom Paint
I have kind of a love-hate relationship when it comes to painting and finishing motorcycle projects. The paint is the part I get most excited about as it really gives the bike its identity, but it is also one of the most annoying parts of any project. You spend a LOT of time sanding andContinue reading “Yamaha V Star 1100 Bobber: Custom Paint”
DIY Entryway Bench Project
When my wife and I bought our forever home, we knew there was work to be done to fit our style. Many of the home’s features were pretty dated and the living room was one of the main trouble areas. The entryway had 2 cabinets that had odd alignment, took up needless space, and reallyContinue reading “DIY Entryway Bench Project”
Yamaha V Star Bobber Custom Seat Creation
For me, bobbers all come down to the “backbone” lines of the bike. That means how the rear fender flows up through the gas tank. I have seen a ton of Yamaha V Star bobbers, but the grand majority of them use the same generic template, most likely using the same exact bobber kit fromContinue reading “Yamaha V Star Bobber Custom Seat Creation”
Yamaha V Star Bobber Custom Gas Tank and Fender Fabrication
After taking about a year off from doing any motorcycle customization, I finally decided I wanted to do another bobber build. The Honda Shadow Bobber I built was an awesome bike, but with one drawback; it lacked the power I wanted in order to be able to ride on the highway with my buddies. IContinue reading “Yamaha V Star Bobber Custom Gas Tank and Fender Fabrication”
The Dungeon Master
Not all creative endeavours start or finish the same. Much of what I post on here are the creative projects that include some form of design and then an actual physical build. For the past year, however, I have found that much of my creativity has come in the form of world building for ourContinue reading “The Dungeon Master”
An Unfortunate Series of Events
Well, it was bound to happen. Every project I have worked on up until this point has been successful without any major hiccups. No mechanical failures beyond some simple adjustments. No unfortunate wrecks. All of that changed during the 2023 riding season. During the Spring thaw, I took out my 2006 Victory Vegas 8-Ball forContinue reading “An Unfortunate Series of Events”
Custom TV Gaming Table
I have always been a big gamer, whether it was getting to rent a NES on the weekend back in the early 90’s or playing board games with friends and family. I loved being able to dive into a different world and forget about what was going on around you. My virtual adventure hit itsContinue reading “Custom TV Gaming Table”
1980 Honda CM400 Scrambler Budget Build Part 5: Paint
Painting a bike is always a love-hate relationship for me. On the one hand, I really do enjoy designing a paint scheme to establish the identity of a project. On the other hand, I absolutely despise the actual process of painting. As any painter will tell you, the quality of the paint job is allContinue reading “1980 Honda CM400 Scrambler Budget Build Part 5: Paint”
1980 Honda CM400 Scrambler Budget Build Part 4: Seat
Let me just start off by saying the seat itself turned out to be one of the longer portions of a bike-build even though it required less heavy tools. There is A LOT that goes into a custom seat, especially when it’s not your specialty. That’s why it’s getting a full post to itself. WithContinue reading “1980 Honda CM400 Scrambler Budget Build Part 4: Seat”
