Levi's and other jean companies are cutting corners reducing the number of belt loops.
Wrangler vs. Levi's: A Denim Showdown
Are your jeans cutting it? 👖 Wrangler, a classic American brand with a 120-year history, is still committed to quality denim. Unlike other brands like Levi's, Wrangler continues to sew on seven belt loops for ultimate comfort, and fit. Levi's often only now sews on five belt loops.
In this video, I'll dive into a few details of why this small detail matters and why it's making me rethink ever buying Levi's jeans again. #Wrangler #Levis #denim #fashion #style #review #comparison

Brazing my first cable guides on a bicycle.
Просмотров 34День назад
Back in May 2019, I had never brazed a single thing in my life. I learned how to braze by watching many videos online and asking questions in bike-building forums. Watching this now is a bit painful, as I had some knowledge of what I was doing but didn't really understand the finer points of brazing. I filmed my first attempts at doing this without any formal instruction. So, my technique back ...
Listen to your bike - it might be telling you something important
Просмотров 40414 дней назад
Today, I took out my trusty steed for a spin. It's a relatively new bike to me (1985 Ross Mt. Hood), but I've been putting some serious miles on it, especially on gravel and smooth crushed cinder trails. A few months back, I added a vintage Jim Blackburn rear rack, and it's been a great addition. However, after a few hundred miles, one of the screws holding the rack to the frame started to work...
Update on the 1984 Rat Rod Trek 560
Просмотров 24021 день назад
Well, I got something wrong in a big way. When I initially researched this 1984 Trek, I thought it was Trek model 510. It actually is a Trek Model 560. Now my confusion has lifted. The 560 is an entry level racing bike. As Trek said in their 1994 catalog - "a bike designed for Category IV racing". Category IV was the entry level in United States Cycling Federation (USA Cycling) back in 1984. Th...
Vote animation - original animation from 1992 - reanimated in 2022

If I only knew thirty years ago what would be happening with voting rights in the US today. Please note: I originally made the concept for this animation in 1992. These are the original animation cells, reshot today in 2022. Some countries in this that did not have free and open democratic elections in 1992, now do. #votingrights #vote #elections #freeandfairelections #animation #photocopyart #...

Rescued and Reborn: A 1995 GT Talera Transformation
Просмотров 398Месяц назад
Ever wondered what you could do with a $60 Facebook Marketplace find? I took a chance on a well-used 1995 GT Talera and breathed new life into it. After a year in storage, I swapped out nearly every part with upgrades I had on hand, giving this bike a new twist. Thus far I've spent about $265 total on this build (not including the existing parts I already had). In addition to my existing parts,...
I often pack too much for bike trips.
Просмотров 312Месяц назад
I often wonder if I'm overpacking for bike camping adventures. Often I do overpack. I compare what I actually used and what I didn't use on an overnight bike camping trip. I actually used about half of what I brought along.

I drove just over 550 miles yesterday, traveling from Manassas, VA to Philadelphia, PA and then on to Muncy, PA and then back home to Manassas. I attended the 2024 Philadelphia Bike Expo for a few hours. I traveled up to Muncy, PA to pick up a sweet bike for a future project (more on that bike at a later date). Here is a little video I made of the bike expo. It was fun and I'll definitely go ag...
Saved from the Trash! Giving a Neglected Vacuum a New Lease on Life
Просмотров 257 месяцев назад
Hey everyone! This video is a little different. After a busy day working on my car in Pennsylvania, I came home to find something unexpected in the trash - a perfectly good vacuum cleaner! It just needed some TLC (Tender Loving Care). So I took it apart, gave it a good scrub, and now it's ready for a new home! Since I know some folks who could use a vacuum, this one won't be seeing the landfill...
