I wanted to create an animal themed bike to go along with it. My original plan was to make it be a fish bike. I thought the front wheel could be the head of the fish, which would sort of mimic the circular gill area on a fish. I did some mock ups with cardboard, and I wasn&#8217;t really able to get the shape that I had in my mind, without some significant hacking on the bike. I didn&#8217;t feel like cutting up the frame, and I wanted to build around what I had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I settled on making the front wheel &#8220;float&#8221; (and not spin) by attaching a plywood circle to the frame. I designed the basic scale shape with Vectric VCarve, creating a simple oval vector. All the wood was scrap wood from around my house: lots of fir and pine wood that I milled from downed trees, but also some douglas fir 2&#215;8&#8217;s that I sliced up. The varying wood pieces provided a really pretty mosaic of colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of the time and labor was milling the wood into 1\/4&#8243; thick sheets that I could then cut into scales on my CNC. I would first plane one side of the lumber, then use the bandsaw to slice it down to about 3\/8&#8243; thick. The scales were then cut out on my Avid CNC Pro 4&#215;8 using a 3\/8&#8243; spiral upcut bit. I hot glued them to the plywood base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was originally worried about the heat melting the hot glue, but they did just fine. The main issue I had was the rain: the bike fell over in the mud, and the scales got soaked in water. This caused the hot glue to separate a bit, and I ended up pulling off all the scales. I didn&#8217;t want to lose any while riding around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bike got a lot of attention at the festival. Usually you see a lot of junky old bikes wrapped in fur, so I think people enjoyed seeing something a little different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video link: Burning Man 2023 Art Bike.
