I bought a new bicycle about 3 weeks ago now. My old one was a better quality bike; but, had never quite fit me right. So I was going to get a new one if I sold it. I did, so I did. This one had the things I wanted anyway, well, sort of. It had an ugly piece of metal hanging in the middle and a short platform on the front and the rear carrier was also just a platform that was also too short to be of any real use.
The first thing I did was make a longer rear platform. I liked what it came out like and decided to make a front tray. I used decent sized screw eyes on the bottom to maake a tiedown spot. Then on one of the tool box excavations trips I found some screw eye bolts. Now the rear had to come off again to add them. hen this was completed, I read the comments of this project on Lumber Jocks and one had suggested a sign for the middle. Well T & E designs was given that project. It rolled around in my head for a while. Here is what came from that. Scroll saw was used somewhere on all 3 modifications too. The entire project was made from shop scrap. The wolves and moons are actually hickory flooring scraps. the rest just generic plywood that was lying around. The rear platform is an unknown, I think maple; but, certainly not sure.
It was fun and I even kept the original pieces hanging in the shop, in case sometime someone wants to change it back.
When I cut the wolves, I had a piece of plastic between the wood slabs to make a template at the same time.
