TON – Mini bikes and Ancient Craft

Tuesday nights at Kwartzlab are very unique in the city, dare I say country.

Last week Jim Faire fired up a home brew smelting furnace. Built with items found at value village and a little bit of genius he was able to melt down aluminum using a shop vac and BBQ charcoal. Harnessing the ancient craft of metal casting Jim will be able to pour molten aluminum and cast really what ever he likes from metal.

This week at TON Drew Ripley…..well Drew Ripley is a man who saw a bicycle and thought to himself ‘Well thats too practical isn’t it?’ So he set about building a bicycle about the size of a sheet of legal paper. Its certainly possible this was the smallest bicycle ridden in Canada last night….
