Aventon E-Bike Adventure

Friends, Welcome back, it's been a minute! I'm stoked to be back with this fun adventure with Aventon. I've wanted an electric bike for the longest! I love riding bikes, it's one of my favorite ways to adventure outdoors. So when I heard my buddy Ben Paik of @WobyDesign was going to return an E-bike from Aventon that was just a little to big to fit in his new van conversion build out, I jumped at the chance to take it off his hands. I reached out to Aventon and Explained how much I'd love to try out their Sinch E-bike and give my honest review.

Aventon is such a rad company and they agreed to let me test out the Aventon Sinch foldable E-bike. I picked up the red E-bike from Ben's shop and took her for a test spin around the block and instantly fell in LOVE. I named her Ruby that day. After a few days of cruising around with the Sinch E-bike, my Husband @nobadtides was having trouble keeping up with me and Ruby on his regular pedal bike. So I wrote to Aventon again and explained how I'd love to add a second Sinch bike to our family so that my husband could keep up with me. I went back for another adventure to Ben's shop to pick up the boxed e-bike and immediately unboxed her once I got home.

The boxed e-bike was a stunning emerald green that Eric named Jade. Once we were all charged up we took them for a few spins around town. Then we really hooked up our bikes with surf racks and cruised to the beach for a surf photo session. Big thank you and shout to @kevfoto2012 on Instagram for catching some epic shots of Eric surfing in the water, while I capture him on shore. I can't wait to take the Aventon E-bike camping and to the desert, I know we'll have many more adventures and I can't wait. Thank you again Friends for watching today's Vlog and until our next video together. Cheers it up! Big Thank you to Aventon for adding us to the family, we love our new bikes! be sure to check out there website: http://aspireiq.go2cloud.org/aff_c?of... Huge shout out and Thank you to my Buddy Ben Paik of @WobyDesign he's the best! check out his channel and follow along on his new van build its going to be epic!

Easy Colorful Mural and Office Refresh with The Home Depot

I partnered with my friends at Home Depot and BEHR Paints to create a super graphics mural in our guest room / home office. I used five different BEHR Paints colors (listed below) in this fun and funky mural that bounces around the room including the ceiling. Then I finished off the room by doing a full office refresh.

I partnered with my friends at Home Depot and BEHR Paints to create a super graphics mural in our guest room / home office. I used five different BEHR Paints colors (listed below) in this fun and funky mural that bounces around the room including the ceiling. We all have our favorite stores that we love to shop at, and for me that fun place is The Home Depot. I often find myself visiting once a week to check out the newest tools, plants, and yes of course the paints. I swung by the BEHR Paints section to get inspired by their amazing variety of paint colors. It was hard to choose just one, so I ended up choosing multiple colors to work with. I picked out five colors that I really loved and arranged them in the order that I felt worked best. I had the Home Depot paint counter mix the colors for me in the color sample size. I got one sample size for each color, which was plenty of paint for this project. The color samples are a great price point at around $4 each. https://www.homedepot.com/ https://www.behr.com/consumer/ Material list all found at Home Depot : Both Yellow and Green Frog Tape https://www.homedepot.com/p/FrogTape-...

Building a Custom Redwood Hot Tub Surround for Our Coleman Inflatable Hot Tub | DIY Tutorial

Hey friends! I’m sharing how I built a custom redwood surround for our inflatable Coleman hot tub (from @Lowes). This project combines woodworking skills, a little creativity, and a lot of fun! Let's get to it.

How to Build a Hot Tub Surround

🔨 Step-by-Step Process 1️⃣ Foam Base Template: Started with a 1/2” foam base from Amazon, trimmed 6 inches, and used it as a guide to trace the hot tub’s shape onto brown construction paper. 2️⃣ Framing the Structure: Cut arcs from 2x12 lumber using a jigsaw (and later a bandsaw for more accurate cuts). 3️⃣ Assembly: Used my @FestoolUSA Kapex miter saw and @KregToolCompany Foreman jig to add pocket holes for easy assembly. 4️⃣ Redwood Covering: Covered the frame with redwood boards, sealing them with @TotalBoat Gleam varnish for durability and shine. 5️⃣ Finishing Touches: Added angled top boards, filled nail holes with a glue-and-sawdust mix, and installed COB LED string lights for a beautiful glow at night. 🛠️ Hot Tub Cover Hack I modified the Coleman cover by removing snaps, cleaning it with acetone, and separating the insulated sections to improve heat retention. 🌟 Materials & Tools Used: Foam mat for under hot tub: https://amzn.to/4gJuWyN Redwood boards (Thank you @MendocinoForestProducts!) TotalBoat products: Gleam Varnish & Lust Varnish (Shop TotalBoat) Tools from @FestoolUSA, @KregToolCompany, and more!

Epoxy Skull and Walnut Wood Brain

Today I’m showing you how I made a life size epoxy skull with a life size walnut wood brain to fit inside. I started by making mini skulls first and figure out what worked and what didn’t. I started by figuring out how to make silicone molds for casting. This took me awhile to figure out which products and methods worked best.

I found that using a pressure pot set at 35-40 PSI when making the silicone molds gets all the tiny bubbles out for a perfect casting. I also used the pressure pot when I poured the epoxy and left it in the pressure pot for 24 hours before de-molding. I used Total Boat thickset for the epoxy, which worked great. I used BBDINO platinum silicone 1:1 mold making for making my silicone molds. Once I figured out the epoxy skulls I moved onto making wood brains to fit inside on my OneFinity CNC.

I then used a Dremel to carve out the underside of the brain so that they fit in the epoxy skulls just right. I finished the wood brains with Total Boats Wood honey, which really brought out the colors of the wood brain. It took a lot of trial and errors to get the final results but over all I’m very happy with how they turned out. I’ll have a limited run of the epoxy skulls and wood brains for sale on my website. I hope you enjoyed this video and found some useful information. Thanks for checking out the how the project turned out over all. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this video and I'd love to see what you make, and be sure to tag me when you do @Wood_Brain on Instagram. Link to website: https://wood-brain-by-lindsay-zuelich...

How To Build An ARCH Backdrop

Today I’m sharing with you how I made a wooden arch backdrop for a friends wedding, using a jigsaw, miter saw, circular saw, and a scroll saw.

I started by making a circle jig for my Dewalt battery powered jigsaw. Then I cut a 1/2" thick 4'x8' sheet of plywood down to 3'-6"x 7' which made it more manageable to work with and move around with. I used the cut left over piece from the plywood to build a base for the backdrop.

I framed it out with 2x4's to give it more weight. I installed heavy duty L-brackets to the base and added two 2x4 pieces to the backdrop to give myself something to drill the L-backets into. Once everything was built I painted the backdrop with a white primer. while that dried I move on to cutting out the wood lettering for the backdrop. I used an over head projector to size the lettering and traced letters onto the wood I would then cutout on my scroll saw. I made each word to cut out more manageable by cutting them into smaller piece.

I drilled pilot holes in the letters where the centers need to be cut out and worked on those areas first by cutting them out on the scroll saw. Once all the letters were cut out I sanded them and painted them white with spray paint. Once everything was dry I painted the letters a pink color that the Bride to be requested. I also painted the backdrop arch a light beige color. I then used the over head projector once more to line up the lettering on the backdrop and I used 3M double sided mounting tape to attach the letters. I know I could have cut the letters out on my CNC, but I wanted to make this a simple and easy project. Hope you enjoyed it and found some use from it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
