my buddy owns a salvage business down the highway from me. That's where I get

most of my reclaimed material from. He's got some cool stuff laying around out there.

Once I got the board's picked out that I wanted I headed back to the shop

and cut them to rough length.

I jointed one edge straight so I could safely rip off the brown strip

left behind from the baton board that protected it from graying in the weather

Since the borders are not going to be sanded I didn't want to get any pencil

marks on the wood so I put some blue tape down so I can mark the locations of

the dominoes. I lined up the dominoes to the back of the door this way any

unevenness that might occur will show up on the show side of the door adding to

his distressed look

Again because the wood will not be sanded I did not want to get any glue

squeeze-out on the finished product so I use the least amount of glue possible

Because there are so many pieces to glue up I started gluing up smaller sub assemblies.

Then glued the sub assemblies together until I had a complete door.

I used calls to prevent the clamps from touching the wood during assembly I did

not want to get any of that black staining that typically happens when

glue and metal meets wood

the length of the door was much longer than any of my clamps so I rigged up a

reverse clamp to push against the final board to push it into place

With the other end of the door securely clamped to the table allowing me to push

all of it together

the f-style clamps is to help prevent bowing.

I use my track saw to cut it to

the final width and length.

I cleared off the bench and started cutting the steel

to length to build the frame. I mitered all of the corners

I ground a bevel along the miter to ensure my weld penetrated all the way to

the back this way I could grind the bead flat so it would look like one piece of

steel after it is painted. One of my favorite things about welding miters is

if the miter has a gap in it you can just filled up with molten steel

I welded flanges on the back to hold the wood in the frame. Even though the wood

is distressed and most likely the sparks would cool before leaving a mark on the

wood. I took time to protect the immediate area from the sparks. I also

wet the wood to prevent it from catching fire in case I got my bead too hot.

This board is for the header above the door to bolt the track too. To mark the bolt

locations I used a matching size drill bit and spun it backwards in the hole to

mark the locations I then switched to the proper size

drill to pre drill the pilot holes for the bolts at the drill press.

I used the drill press instead of a handheld drill to ensure a straight hole

Now I did a test fit of each bolt using a block of wood to hold it

straight as I drove them. If these bolts are a little off the door will not roll

on the track smoothly or hang straight

Duke Students Build a Bike to Support Durham Children - Duration: 1:53.

(Josh Sosin, Associate Professor in Class ical Studies & History) "One of the things that is a pretty cool virtue of Spring Breakthrough is that it

invites and encourages students to branch out into an area that's outside

their comfort zone. What they're doing in five days is taking a pile of metal

tubes..." (Sungeun An) "You have to measure like every single thing to like the millimeter." (Professor Sosin) "...that

by themselves aren't very interesting, aren't very

useful and turning them into a functional machine that will allow a

person to travel really quite easily 20 40 miles in a day. (Instructions) "Get a the more silver

like right there." (Jim Kish, Owner, Kish Fabrication) "It's kind of fun to show people how bikes are

built who aren't completely heavily invested in it

perfect we got it it's done reminded me of why I started getting into bikes and

bike build in the first place." (Sarah Faller) "This is hard! A lot of times like our cars our

bicycles are everything we use we never get actually see made.

We just kind of take for granted that it's there. So it's been interesting actually seeing it made, seeing where our products come from."

(Professor Sosin) "We will auction off a Duke blue painted bike to some lucky individual and with the proceeds acquire bikes for area kids in need for distribution in the holiday season next year."

(Helena Wu) "I just couldn't be happier with the fact that it's going to be auctioned off for a cause that is just totally central to the value and the mission of Duke and a lot of students here at Duke I think want to make a change in the world."
