I'm currently makeing some teeth simular to ones found on early 50s Fords/Mercs but they will more 'axe' shaped than round.


neither fords nor mercs had teeth in the grills from 1949 through 54. The standard was to remove the stock grills and replace them with either corvette, 49-54 Chevy, or late 50's Desoto grills. I ran a 58 Desoto grill in my 53 ford for many years.

I have no free time. I spend all my time at work designing power plants or running my house while helping the GF plan our wedding (and paying for it)
 
I enjoy woodworking. This folding chessboard has exactly TWO finish nails in it...the rest is wood, glue, and polyurethane.

I made this "BOOM BOX" with a car stereo for use with my MP3 player. It's powered by a motorcycle battery. My neighbors LOVE it!!

I operate a Mori Seiki SH400 Horizontal Mill at work. I ride and work on vintage Yamaha Dual Purpose Motorcycles, shoot rifles,pistols & shotguns.

Kayaking, bass fishing, bass fishing in my kayak, Cars ('63 Corvan van, rarely work on my bug, and side work here and there), assistant den leader for my sons den, coach my sons baseball team, misc things to keep me busy. I hate doing nothing, don't watch much tv. Love music but don't have much time or $ for concerts anymore.
 
I am in a car club, Road Pilots we are pretty new we have about 10 members right now. There is a lot of talent in our club from welders to fab guys painters and pin striping, so far I'm the only one that messes with bikes but some of them are starting to take a look at how cool they are.
 
For work, I install random stuff like this in random stores all over the midwest:

I'm really into Oriental and Buddhist art, I think the influence shows. I do hand-poked tattooing, which doesn't require a machine. It's kinda like Japanese Tebori tattooing only less skillful :lol: Plus I don't use much colour :lol:

That's quite awesome! How much would that piston head charger cost? And the sprocket clock?
 
drinking beer, photography and nature

I try to combine my hobbies of photography, beer, nature walks, visiting pubs and spending time with friends and family.

My wife is officially sick of me taking photographs of her, so I catch her unaware.

Natural subjects are always a target for my lens.
