What wire?
Labels:
Me and Max
Today Max wouldn't listen to Mom when riding his bike. And when he finally came back to where his Mom was riding he decided to go over a patch of land where they planted grass....and we told him to stay off there, otherwise it won't grow...
This is what happens when you don't see the wire...
Sounds familiar to Grandpa ;)

I bought a 1953 Simplex bicycle today, it had a very nice bosch front light. But I'm replacing it by the brass Filuma headlight. Bought it real cheap and it's in perfect shape!

Tube light
I made this casing today. The tube is made of copper plate, rounded and fixed with a crimped seem. The section for the glass is made of brass, crimped and formed with a....can opener!
Works great on small objects!

I picked up this book today. The original was written in 1893! If this ain't learning it the oldschool way, what is?
