Update: March SOLD OUT!
There's 1 spot left for May 18-29, then school's out for the summer! ๐ค
Hi Everyone. For some inexplicable reason I still have a slot starting March 9th. Just about a month away you could have a dream frame made with your own two hands by the time the weather is awesome! Be there or be square! Now introducing environmentally responsible methane brazing! (Beans included)

Just finished up with Doug and Chris. Really easy class. Doug is a certified welding inspector. Why would a CWI get training here? Cause I am the best!!!๐. With a new outfit opening up in the Northwest, claiming to be the "Ivy League" of bicycle frame building schools and yet haven't taught a single soul. I have been quietly doing it for 20 years.

This is Nate in 2015. A great guy who didn't make it through 2016 due to cancer. I have had many students over the year and I take a bit of ever one along with me. I remember him fondly.

Nick Offerman Told Me That Swinging a Hammer Might Change My Life Nick Offerman knows his way around a workbench, and he knows that DIYing is about more than saving a little money. Hear what he has to say about the humble hammer.

Bala (Balakrishna Udyavara) a friend I made while working on a carbon composite project in India passed away far too soon. I was super proud of his work. I will miss him greatly.
