Take a look at this photo clip stand and magnetic photo clip. Made these in 1997 when I worked at Blackstone Bike Works with Andy Gregg. Spokes, nipples and Odometer spoke magnet.

I play trumpet with Environmental Encroachment, a Chicago based marching band. We were hired by the city to perform for Chicago's first annual Frozen Fun Fest, earlier in February. I fabricated King and Queen crowns for the event. These crowns are made of used cassette cogs and chainrings.

Here is a ring that I have been making for several years now. It's made from spokes, ball bearing and a chain ring binder bolt. The coolest one I made was for Tim Hurley, the chain ring bolt was made by Simplex
