I like building stuff and I like making beer, I love making my own brewing equipment. I have long disliked how far thermometers and valves stick out of keggle (keg+kettle) or any brewing vessel for the matter so I thought I would shave some height off by mounting the threaded fitting flush with the surface of the keg. Then I polished it all down for a nice and clean surface that won’t harbor any grim.

Do you need some fittings welded in? send me an email and we’ll knock it out

Every once in a while you give in to the requests to donate this that or the other. Most of the time it’s little stuff like a set of tires or some gift cards. But on this occasion I was foolish enough to donate a custom built frame to some random person during a women’s only gathering at the 2009 CX nationals. Lucky for me Kate Dunning a local BendOR resident won the bike and happens to be a pretty cool chick. I took FOREVER to build this bike, but Kate was extremely patient and for that I am grateful. So it’s nice in the end that Heather Clark of the Bulletin wrote an article about Kate and how the bike that I built for her pushed her into racing cross. Sure she rides for the guys at Pine Mountain Sports, but she certainly has the coolest bike out of the bunch.

I always wondered what was at the end of the rainbow and now I know, the wonderful Deschutes Brewery. Maybe if I was under the influence this would have been a double rainbow, alas no such luck. This photo was taken early in the week during the 2010 CX nationals hear in BendOR

We finally have a website. This will be an area for news.
