August Update, pt. 2

Tried our hand and body lead work-  wow, that takes some practice!  Much better than Bondo, though.

 

These two were the first failed attempts at painting the Davida helmet-  never before seen!  Just not feeling how they came out, so sand down and start over.  Glad we did, because the dart board was way better IMHO.....

 

More tools in prep for blacksmithing!

 

The '87 Sportster made it into the Horse Backstreet Choppers

 

Made these can coolers, for sale in our web store:  http://www.buschandbusch.bigcartel.com

Finally started casting the inside panels of our forge / heat treat oven!  So excited to get going on casting, blacksmithing, etc.

Late July - August Update Part 1

Was a busy few weeks, getting prepped for Bonneville Speed Week ate up most of our time.  Here's some highlights:

We ordered stickers, FINALLY!  They should be here by mid-September.  Watch this space!

 

Painted these two Davida helmets for the Ton Up / Michael Lichter / 21 Helmets show at the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis

 

Made some new revised wallet lanyards, this time thinner, some braided, some ball-peined, all polished.

 

Made it to Bonneville this year (after last year's break down half way there) !  Has been too long since we saw Shinya and Ayu, and we were happy to see his smile when he donned the work apron we made for him.

 

Ayu's photo sums up our time at the salt flats this year, all smiles  :-)

Art Deco Helmet

Just finally getting some time to update the blog with projects from the past month and a half-  we did this Biltwell helmet for Rockerbox in Milwaukee, WI.  It's the tenth year of the motorcycle gathering at Fuel Cafe, and it's going to be huge!  The helmet will be auctioned off for the Seel Shoe Fund to aid injured riders, so BE THERE August 3rd  for the curated auction to bid on the helmet!

 

We did all the paint, leather work on the interior, aluminum clamshell visor, and machined Rockerbox art deco badge.  Photos by Asa Gilmore.
