I'm wondering if there's been a change in where I can find the "Projects" section of the forum? I'm not seeing it in it's normal place, and that's one of the big sections I like to read and post…Continue

Mini-Penny Farthing

Doing some silly tinkering in my shop, I thought I'd do something fun with a 24" unicycle that I've had laying around for a couple of years. I took a front fork and a wheel from a toddler's bike, some scrap tubing, and some mountain bike handlebars, and in a couple of hours, I had a mini-penny farthing that my wife cleverly dubbed the "ha'penny farthing." It's small, so I couldn't ride it, but a kid, or maybe really petite adult could.…See More

"I'm starting a new bicycle build that will definitely be dieselpunk! I'm taking all vintage parts, and rearranging them in a modern way."

Steampunk Emporium and Swap Meet, Sacramento

There is a swap and craft meet next weekend that I just found out about, and I thought I'd pass it along. I don't think that are very many people on this site in my area, but information doesn't hurt, so here it is. It's on Howe Ave. on Saturday, the 16th, from 11-4. Sponsored by the Sacramento Steampunk Society (which I didn't know existed), and other groups participating include Sac Geeks, League of Proper Villains, and a few others. I was thinking of riding my Imitation 1920 Harley bicycle…See More

1910 Harley Davidson Inspired Bicycle

While I don't post every bike project of mine on here, I've gotten many comments by friends that this particular bike has a steam/dieselpunk feel to it, so I thought I'd re-post it here. This build had been in the planning stages in my drawing pad for quite some time. Eventually, I decided it was time to go ahead, and try to make it a reality. Like all my builds, I'm never sure it will end up exactly as planned (usually, my skill level causes it to fall a bit short of from what I intend), but…See More

A Vintage Halloween Ride

Yesterday, one of the local bicycle clubs (Rolling Relics) sponsored a Halloween bike ride. Costumes were encouraged, so in keeping with the theme of the club, which specializes in riding vintage bikes, I decided to take out the Racycle for this trip. It is, after all, an almost 100 year old bike. I then took it a step further, and wore an outfit that I thought fit the era of the bike. I was going for "Ace Racer." Kristine wore her dieselpunk nurse's outfit, which had her looking sexy as hell,…See More

Racycle Bicycle Project

In a trade, I acquired a 1910's or 1920's Racycle frame yesterday. This was made by the same company that made the Flying Merkel motorcycle.Here are a few pictures I took of it:…See More

Putting This Inspiration To Bed

I've had this awesome LIFE Magazine cover for some time as an inspiration, to remind me in my hobby that bicycles can be odd, and still awesome:I mention this, because I finally built a bike that directly copies it. First, I bought this headboard from a thrift store for about $5:Question,…See More

Moving on to Bigger Toys

I have my Smart Car, which I use for 99% of my driving. I love my Smart, and commuting an hour and a half one way is definitely made easier on my pocketbook by this car. When I was using my Dodge truck, I was getting less than half of the miles per gallon that I get now. My truck now gets driven maybe once every two weeks, when I have more than two people to haul (and when the wife's car isn't available for that purpose), or when I actually need a truck. That's for flea markets, usually, but I…See More

Kris and Deven's Anniversary Swing Thing, by Deven Science

My wife and I had our two year wedding anniversary party last weekend. We tried to keep the same theme of the wedding, that is to say, focusing on the style or the Forties and Fifties.To encourage a potluck, we had a food contest. The categories were "Best Use of SPAM," "Best Use of Coca Cola in a Dish," and "Best Casserole." We made prizes for the winners of the three categories, and we had some decent casseroles and SPAM dishes. There were only two Coca Cola entries. One was these fucking…See More

Another Bicycle Project

This post could just as rightly fall into the "show your duds" category, but I'll drop it here. Cross-pollination, as it were.I bought myself a jacket that I've desired for 20 years now, the Rocketeer's jacket. Oh, it's beautiful. I did ask the company, Wested Leather, if they would be willing to alter it in one way for me. I had decided that if I could get it in black, then I would be more apt to wear it. I was…See More

My Non-Dieselpunk Bicycle Projects

I have been much less active on this site for the last few months, and I thought I'd explain why. See, after the wonderful Maker Faire in May, which my wife and I did dress up in dieselpunk attire for (see pic below), I was, well, re-focused. I saw many cool and amazing mods, inventions, and DIY activities. People who were really…See More

My Raygun Rifle

This is the Raygun rifle I've been working on in between other projects for quite some time. I first made the frame of it out of copper piping and plumbing fittings. Not happy with it, I added some brass tubing, including the barrel. I then skinned the body and stock with sheet brass. There's a hidden little button on the body that, when depressed, makes some firing type noises, and the inside of the barrel glows red.The LEDs in the barrel and the electronic guts came from a toy race car from…See More

Bay Area Maker Faire 2011

The Maker Faire is an annual convention dedicated to DIY inventors and artists of all types. You'll see robots, crazy bicycles, and all kinds of cool science. The wife and I will be going this year with the kids, and one of the big attractions for me is that the Maker Faire has a huge steampunk area, filled with all kinds of steampunk vehicles and inventions. I'll be wearing the latest version of my dieselpunk outfit, and I'm…See More

End of Tour

I just wanted to post on here to those friends and fellow Dieselpunkers I've met on this site that my Afghanistan tour is finally close to it's end. I'll be leaving the country in a few days, and while I'll have a couple of processing stops that'll take a few weeks, I'll be home in a short while. I'll have been gone for a full year.I haven't seen my kids in that year. There's a lot I've missed. Still, having the mind that I do, I often compare my tours (one to Afghanistan, and one to Iraq), and…See More

My Latest Bicycle Creation, by Deven Science

Posted on November 4, 2009 at 12:59am 2 Comments 0 Favorites

Today was another productive day. I went over to my friend Kevin's shop to work on these bicycle parts I wanted to make. Knowing I was now to be back to work soon, and therefore short on time, I put the idea of making a springer front end on hold for now. I decided to make a simpler one that would still be unique. I cut the forks it had, extended them, and welded them back together at an angle so that the wheel would poke out further forward. I then welded a small brace on either side, to make… Continue

My Dieselpunk Outfit, So Far, by Deven Science

Posted on October 26, 2009 at 10:00pm 5 Comments 0 Favorites

This weekend was fairly relaxing, as my girlfriend Kris and I had little on the agenda, but to work on our Halloween/dieselpunk costumes. That is, Kris worked on her Halloween costume, since we're still designing her dieselpunk outfit, and we worked on my dieselpunk clothes, since I'm just using last year's Cobra Commander costume. IThe hood was too tight last year, giving me a massive headache by the end of the night, so Kris has agreed to alter the hood before the day of.

We ended… Continue
