Fantastic! I hope to see a lot of pictures and reports about frame building!

Thanks for the nice comments. One question: a framebuilding buddy of mine swears folks like to see pictures of frames being built on blogs. I used to post some "raw" (i.e., pre-paint) photos of frames in progress on my website, but never got the impression that women find images of weld beads or brass fillets particularly interesting to look at. The "point" of displaying them, I suppose, is to display your skill and instill confidence, and inspire framebuilder worship (which I am all for, btw

). I am skeptical that "build photos" are as interesting for the women as they are for the guys. Do you all think that kind of stuff is interesting to see?

If not, for those just interested in following the blog (not necessarily interested in buying), what would you like to see or hear about from a framebuilder's perspective? I want the blog to be interesting and informative (when I am not posting family vacation photos, that is), and I need help from the general (female) population as to what exactly that is...

This blog's for you.

Your ideas much appreciated.

Thanks again

I think it's fascinating

yes, but you are fascinated by socks!!

True enough...

But really, my uncle is a retired machinist (and lives outside of Santa Fe!) and I think that watching him work while I was growing up instilled a great appreciation for all things related to fabricating anything... I'd rather go build or fix stuff than go do "girly" things

Definitely, yes!
I find build photos interesting and instructive. Actually one of my plans is to someday take a vacation and go visit a framebuilder so I can learn more about the process. I'm sure there's other women out there that are as interested in building as I am. So your blog will have many readers
