Hot Wheels Nitro Speeders Gets DeLorean Treatment. Hot Wheels Nitro Speeders. A while back, Hot Wheels released Nitro Speeders. I did not work on these, so it went under my radar.

There were a few versions released, all had the relative same chassis and different bodies. Begin with stock toy. Chassis and body, separated.

Mold for making Stratocaster pick guards. I spent the day at Fender. In Corona, California. While Fender has factories abroad, including one about four hours away in Mexico, a lot of the manufacturing of flagship Fenders are made in the Corona location. Yes, you get to tour the factory. Out of focus picture of the machine shop. Top: Back Plates, Saddles. Bottom: Bridge Brackets. They also assemble pre-assemble the bridges so they will be ready for installation. Stack of pick guards for the Stratocaster.

awildermode: DeLorean Page Caption Contest
http://www.awildermode.com/2015/03/delorean-page-caption-contest.html
DeLorean Page Caption Contest. Last week, the DeLorean Motor Company had a contest on their Facebook page. They posted the above photo and challenged users to a caption contest. Obviously, with mad Photoshop skills and even better sarcasm skills, I went to work. I only 'entered the contest' because I knew I had a smart ass comment. Well, most of my comments on social media are smart ass comments. So, I took to the computer and created this:. Today my package came. My pen and note pad. The Mind Of Jeff.

http://www.awildermode.com/2015/05/my-obsession-with-bremont-watches.html
My Obsession with Bremont Watches. I have always had a passion for watches.pretty much all time machines. A few months ago, I was shopping for watches and came upon some lesser known brands (at least to me). One of these brands is Bremont. From a design and aesthetic perspective, these watches are wonderfully crafted. Their design is inspired by aviation, as their founders Nick and Giles English are pilots themselves. I also have a passion for aviation that dates back to movies like Top Gun. The lanyard ...

But, if I can do this, those last tools are not that necessary. See that one screw? Parts of the clasp mechanism. This is the part where you will loose t...

http://www.awildermode.com/2015/02/reading-rainbow-kickstarter.html
Reading Rainbow - Kickstarter. So, I got this box in the mail. And I had no clue what it was. Turns out, it was my rewards package from Kickstarter. For funding Levar Burton's Bring Reading Rainbow Back for Every Child, Everywhere! It had been a few months since the end of the funding period, so I was surprised when I received and unknown package in the mail. Something on the box to tell me it was something I ordered eight months ago, would have helped. Here is what I got. Reading Rainbow reward package.
