My girlfriend and I decided that two weeks solid without a break deserved a day off, so we went to Sydney and hopped a ferry to Cockatoo Island, and old ship building site which has been converted into a big art gallery for this month. She loved the artwork, I lost my shit over the massive machine tools that they still had laying around:

How is that for a lathe, bed of about 20 metres, chuck larger than I am tall
And the controls for a boring machine, which had a boring head that was ~2m wide:

Cheers to all, now go and enjoy your well earned long weekend!
Catching up with FNL:
Added a CS bridge to the frame I made earlier this summer after 700 miles of use. We'll see if I can tell the difference.
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8170/7...06d6361f_b.jpg
Decided to experiment with paint and rattle can said frame as it was too damn rusty.

Been away from FNL for quite some time. Just moved into a new work space and getting things even more comfortable than the last place. Built a dedicated table for the the alignment system as well as a rolling stand for the frame jig. I resumed work on a 29er for a good friend out in Oregon (Bike #003).
