A Week of Progress!

The team has made great progress in the Kitchen over the past week! Some highlights:

The Negotiator's Frame is complete.

Boing, Boing, Boing

Meanwhile, the seat frame is complete on The Bluff Runner...

...with adjustable seat positions.

Where Man meets Machine:

Oh, the Suspense!

John started working on Vehicle 2's suspension/steering system

wow!

Meanwhile, Hedy reinforced #1's frame.

The Boss Man's Back

Mr. Vishnu was back in the shop today, after being out all night at a party, so it was time to look sharp & make some progress!

Frame #1: complete!

Now it's time to get a seat, drivetrain & brakes on this, and start to frame up vehicle #2.

Another day, another tire

A very productive day at the shoppe! Tom & Hedy continued to tread the last of the 3 wheels, while Erik started chopping & prepping bikes. John rolled out his old friend, the welder, and started framing out one of the trikes.

Treadin

Tom & Hedy spent a few hours at the shop today treading wheels. Each smaller wheel takes 4 tires. The large wheel takes 6. That means cutting the wire bead off 26 tires. And turning hundreds of screws. It takes about an hour to tread one wheel.

Day 003

Day 003: Hordes of giant wheels began to take form as neighbors snoozed peacefully, unaware of what creations were bubbling inside the Kitchen.

Day 001

Here are the rest of the photos from Day 001. Subsequent photos will be posted as our work progresses.
