I will need a mask like the Lone Ranger too.
Or maybe the Phantom of the Opera mask would be better for my ugly mug.

I think you will be with the missus help the coolest rider in AK, best dressed, coolest looking bike, costume for the hound and you are fixed right to a tee.......all decked out in a steam punking outfit...........with your zombie gun and glasses to spot them.....
Perhaps we can talk her in to making a costume for Troll also.........

- April 06, 2016, 12:45:16 PMExcellent!
Those are neat pants at a very good price.
A long duster coat is almost a requirement I think

- April 05, 2016, 23:49:22 PMNot to steal your thread on the work you are doing on your bike. I bought a pair of Olsen riding pants from these people. At their Western Store.

because the good lord built my butt close to the sidewalk I had them tailored for me and the extra material I had made in to a pocket for my glasses and wallet on each leg. I found them super comfortable, and they handle the heat and the cold equally well. Also my WWI canvas trench coat is pretty cool.......
I would be interested in what your missus comes up with........I have been toying with the idea of like golf knickers and high boots......

Robyn will have fun checking them out for ideas.
A Drifter Rider outfit sounds like something she would have fun designing and making.
She has done several Steampunk styles and is working on one for me at the moment.
She showed me the "gun" she picked up at our local used clothing store for my outfit.
It is some kind of Nerf handgun that she will modify, paint, and detail into a Steampunk laser... or blunderbus.
Like me she always has several projects going at various stages.
A Drifter Rider Outfit sounds really good!
I will keep you informed if she is interested

- April 04, 2016, 15:11:52 PMI have always used the large cardboard box before.
Same filter and exhaust fan blowing out the garage door.
But in my previous shop I had heat in the slab so very little dust in the air.
I forgot about that this time and the overhead gas heater blows everything around almost constantly.
I didn't notice that until I painted of course. Duh...
For small jobs I will turn the heater off from now on.
The sewing machine is an antique, 1922 Singer that my wife is restoring.
It will get all new gold filigree decals over the black paint and then gloss clear coat over that.
She will use it when we are "camping" in our RV since it is a hand crank machine.
Very neat.
She has several other sewing machines in her sewing room that she uses normally.
No, she doesn't sew anything practical, she loves to design and make dresses from the past.
1600's, 1700's, 1800's and a few from the early 1900's.
After she makes one, she may get to wear it once somewhere, then she puts it on Ebay and sells them for more than what she has in the materials so it is a self supporting hobby, not a business.
She's happy and that makes me happy.
Of course, if she would make these fancy dresses in a more common size they would find more buyers but she makes them her size, which is tiny. 5' tall tiny. Oh, well...
