Final product.

Love this build, it is the bike I use as my single-speed commuter. It has a flip-flop hub should I ever dare try fixed gear. Nice steel frame, great rattle can paint job. NOS Schwinn seat.

Kitchen/Bathroom Remodel

This is my workshop in our old house. Really loved it, and miss it.

I'm not a professional designer by a long shot, just someone who enjoys creating things. Some recent projects are the remodeling of our old home and my ever-present bikes. I love to get out in my workshop and build single speed and other kinds of bikes with old-school steel frames I pick up on eBay. I call these and other projects "Marshall Design." I also enjoy what I would call utilitarian design. By that I mean making the most of whatever it is you have. We have since moved and I've now got a new garage workshop that is even more spacious and practical, and I kept my custom-built oak workbench. Love my woodworking, but also learning how to weld so I can incorporate more of an industrial look in my designs. Click on the images for an enlarged view.

Thanks, Paul
