Over the weekend my roommate Adam and I spent Saturday building the new 'ped shed. It took a bit of time getting started, but it progressed nicely. Here's a photo of the frame completed. We actually did get the walls, roof, and door completed but I neglected to take a photo, but I will once we get it painted. It's only 4 feet tall, the perfect size for bikes and we should be able to fit 4-5 in there which will free up a lot of space in the garage.
As for progress on the bike this weekend, I watched Pulp Fiction while doing some wiring. Here you can see the LED lights burning bright off the 12v battery. I haven't yet spliced in the brake lines or the power switch but it should be pretty easy.
I also attempted to print my images on the brass to begin etching. However, the paper I used was just too thick and the toner only transferred a minimal amount. Set back. But after some more research, I discovered that printing with a laser printer on to magazine paper, which is glossy and thin, can give you better results so I'll try that again tonight. Luckily carb cleaner pulled the failed stencils right off so I can try again since brass PRICEY.
