[RBW] Spotted: orange Hillborne in Woodside, NYC

I saw a new looking Hillborne and its rider today in Woodside, Queens. Was it someone on this list? I was riding my Vespa and going a little too fast to turn around! Nevertheless, the Hillborne looked nice and it was very cool to see another Riv in the wild! M -- You received this message

Well, I've certainly got enough "simple" coming my way next week to get me in trouble for a very long time trying to catch up with it! Grin. Sharpening: yes. Core. Essential. Basics. Takes five minutes to begin, a lifetime to learn. One of the things I've learned is that once I have the basics

[RBW] Re: OT: Japanese Woodworking

Milford sounds right. He is great. Very unassuming and very knowledgeable. He recommended the DVD to me. Getting to the "ease of working simply" takes a long time to master but it is a very mindful experience along the way. Still working toward getting there myself. The other thing to be

John, that's precisely the joint I'm looking at for our platform beds. It's even simple enough I (think) I can figure it out. Grin. Thank you for the DVD tip. Snagged it. Are you thinking Milford at Hida Tool as the Saturday Guy? He's on my list to call. Great to hear he's so helpful. I've also

[RBW] Re: lydia got her green Rivendell custom back

That's really great news! Also nice to hear that the cops took the effort to put 2 and 2 together and call her. So often these days and in so many communities, you hear that they're just too busy with other, more pressing issues, to bother making bike theft a priority. On Saturday, April

[RBW] Re: OT: Japanese Woodworking

Patrick, One other thing I thought of if you wanted to catch up on Fine Woodworking. They sell a searchable archive of all their articles since 1975. If you buy the previous year's collection, they are usually discounted. Normally, they go for about $100 but once the new disk comes out,

I am so geeking out right now. Two things I love most, woodworking and bicycles, in the same forum! Thanks, Patrick. Although I have no desire to live on the floor, I always found this joint to be a fairly simple but strong joint for beds:

[RBW] Re: OT: Japanese Woodworking

Deacon, I'm just catching up with this thread. I'm not quite sure why you express a particular preference for Japanese hand tools. I can understand - and totally get - your desire to avoid the noise and dirt associated with power tools. As someone with a 40 year woodworking habit, I have a

I have a tall Acorn Randolph bag in brown I'm going to be posting for sale. It's the version with the snap closures on the pockets. Drilled for Berthoud decaleur, but otherwise in perfect condition. Used it for a couple of months on my Atlantis. René On Sat, Apr 29, 2017 at 9:11 AM Justin Schoop

Tom, A good companion to "The Soul of a Tree" looks like "The Complete Illustrated Guide to Joinery." One of the reviews said: "Wanna get to the bones of the sketches in "the soul of a tree" ???" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1561584010/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8=1 On Friday,

Patrick, Hida tool has been mentioned, when you talk with them, ask about the magazine "Sukyia Living" it used to be called the Journal of Japanese Gardening. There are numerous carpenters who work in Japanese Gardening and the publisher of the magazine will furnish a list of

Brilliant idea, Bill, and it's in the works. With our Western mindset, you'd think so, right? However, I'm not optimistic any of them contain "385 illustrated steps to the perfect basic Japanese joinery of x to y to z." It appears that among the many vast cultural differences between East and

It all comes down to two joints, dovetail and mortise and tenon. If you can attain reasonable mastery of those you will be ready for most anything. Much more easily said than done. As for books, search Amazon for Japanese Joinery and you'll find many choices. Bill Stockton, CA On Friday,

The New Albion takes a 27.2. The VO seatposts only come in that diameter. They also carry the Dajia posts in a variety of sizes. (They used to sell the Kalloy Unos, I believe.) On Friday, April 28, 2017 at 7:38:40 PM UTC-4, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > APPROVE. > > New Albions frame design could
