Hi! We're introducing Important Blue Internet Checkmarks here on Tumblr. They're a steal at $7.99—that's cheaper than some other places, when you consider that you get not one but TWO checkmarks for your blog on web only (for now). Why, you ask? Why not? Nothing matters! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Get yours here!

Next video on making the exhaust for my motorcycle!

In the time between jobs I set off to build a pie cut stainless exhaust system for my Ducati. 94 pieces, 180 cubic feet of argon, 400” of linear welding, and about 34 hours of fabrication time later here it is.

New video! Last episode on making the custom triple clamp from a solid block of aluminum. Going to start the 100% custom stainless exhaust system next. Subscribe to see how that goes!

New Chris Builds video up! This time I turn this triple clamp into an actual clamp using the milling machine.

Over the weekend I moved my maker stuff to a dedicated YouTube Channel. Please like, share, subscribe and do all that YouTube jazz.

I'll be posting my machining and custom bike building adventures there. Start off with a recap of the rearset footpegs I just made!
