The American Craftsman With Jesse James, Is Exactly What We Need On TV

Hopefully Jesse James can get his new tv series launched about the American Craftsman

The American Craftsman, brought to you by Jesse James is exactly what we need on TV. The older I get, the less and less shows I find any interest in watching unless there is something I can glean from them regarding a new skill set or knowledge about an area of interest that I have. The further we move forward as a culture, it seems the less and less we have of folks actually understanding how to use their hands as a valuable tool. This to me is a sad facet of how computers and the internet are supposed to make life easier. In all reality they are robbing all of us what is intrinsically part of our nature. We were born from evolution of exploring and being tactile in our approach to the world around us. Getting back to basics is more than just a mantra, it needs to become a way of life akin to the way exercising is great for the body and soul. Working with your hands, intellect and perfecting your craft is a life long journey.

Josh Welton of Brown Dog Welding is never one to rest on his laurels. Forever refining his craft in metalwork and pushing forward with his mechanical sculptures, he has truly blazed his own path. It might be quite easy to grab a few nuts and bolts here and there to weld together and make something feel mechanical. This is where Josh, steps well beyond his contemporaries by creating sculptural pieces that feel real and beg to be seen in a 360 degree panoramic view.

Building A Custom Gravity Racer For Charity From An Old Go Kart And Two BMX Bikes

Taking a stock go kart frame and mixing it with two bmx bikes for the perfect gravity racer

There is many a night when the list of projects outweighs the amount of time that we have in any given day. A solid time management plan is consistently put into place and checked, re-checked and fiddled with more times than we know what to do with ourselves. Sometimes a few projects have to be deferred as others pop up with crazy deadlines.

One of my favorite things to do while taking a break is to look up random images on Flickr and find things such as European motorcycle racing. Hans Viveen has quite the amazing repository of images and definitely worth the look.

Roland Sands Custom Indian Motorcycle

Roland Sands is one hell of a industrial designer. His bikes never fail to intrigue on many levels of design and engineering, yet they also never look the same and still feel crafted from his shop. I have been anxiously awaiting the reveal of this beauty and glimpsed the photo above from Instagram. Have a look at more of the build process below and then link over to his build progress on the main site to see exactly how it all came together.

Do Technology Company's Have More Creativity Than The Music Industry?

How often have you wanted to smash something computer related?

Not too far in the recent past, making a living as a musician was a bit easier and the audiences paid a bit more attention to a live act, rather than just a guy with a laptop standing on a stage with headphones. In our current time frame, dance clubs are packed elbow to elbow, while many rock, punk and country acts are playing to less and less fans. 

Could this be a paradigm shift in musical taste? Or, maybe fans are just wanting something new and the immediacy that they are used to, from the internet. Could these electronic musicians be tapping into a larger unknown sphere of influence that in actuality is a database of the pre-programmed minds of video game sounds, website dings modem rings? Hmmm.... Maybe the electronic music evolution is just another part of the internet revolution and music that has been performed in a style for decades is just going out of fashion.
