this is a brake that Andy is looking at purchasing for his business Wegner Metal Works. this thing is amazing if it works half as well as it appears to in the video. it looks like they are based right in manitowoc so that's great too.

making a bike stand
After starting my single speed project I thought it would be nice to have a bike stand for working on the bikes. For some reason I have been wanting to make something out of conduit. So after a few sketches I came up with this design. It is constructed out of all 3/4 conduit and bolted together. It works pretty well. I am still going to add a tool tray to the top, but all in all I'm pretty happy with the outcome!

The die has a 12" diameter and the contour hes a depth of 4". this thing took a long time to make! plus it destroyed a brand new bit- i think its time to move beyond mdf and look for a better material for making prototypes out of..............any suggestions?
