The next installment of "Making something from nothing" is the heaviest water bottle holder in the world. And it may get heavier. I need to add another tube to hold the bottle a little better. This holder was made entirely from 316ss tubing scrap. It had to be pieced together using the shorter lengths to get what you see. It seems to be a unique design. Though, I doubt anyone would think of it or want to copy it. Most modern water bottle holders try to have a stylish design and very light weight. I think I have bucked the trend. The WBH resides on my Big Dummy where the weight will not be noticed.

Making something out of nothing.

Today is your lucky day. A double post. I know my legions of loyal followers will have their day made.

Today's feature is a caliper guard for my Big Dummy. Xtracycle makes one. It's a good one I guess. But I like to make the things that I can. I like to make them out of scrap metal too. Industrial scrap. Stuff that will be sold for scrap value only, or thrown away. I dig through the scrap bin several times a day to find the most bikable parts I can. I've made several things for bikes out of scrap and would make a lot more if only more stuff would get scraped or thrown away. The caliper guard is the latest part out of scrap.

Aggressive drivers.

I decided to use this blog to record the license plate numbers of those people/vehicles that drive too close, pass too close and generally endanger my life by being careless and driving aggressively. Today's aggressor goes to Louisiana plate number RMS 212, a white Chevy Tahoe.
