Woodworking Project Part 2
My woodworking project continues. My latest step was to take my block of wood and find a way to get it “stable on the table” so that I could run it through the bandsaw. Once I had a flat enough surface (I trimmed it with an axe to flatten out the one side) I began…

Rad Power Bikes RadRover; Follow Up Video
Now that I have put more than 500 kilometres on my Rad Power Bikes RadRover, I decided to sit down and put together a sort of “top ten list” of my thoughts, observations, and impressions of the bike. Here they are: https://youtu.be/YZ3iR79DoDE
