Terrific boxcar toybox by David and Bernise Shiller furnituremakers, I love it

Found in the book, Treasure Chests, which is great! The Studley tool chest is in that book, and so are steamer chests, military footlockers, tool chests, travelers trunks, and even such historically cool things like George Washingtons footlocker, Thomas Jeffersons portable writing desk, and most incredible: maybe the only surviving Boston Tea Party tea chest from China

If anyone knows of any other woodwork from David and Bernise, please let me know where to find it on the internet, because Google came up with nothing at all

Found on sobsoflife.tumblr.com

The above is the B&M Wheel Sirens 931 s Main St Los Angeles, check out the taillights, license plate, and whatever that is hanging on to the plate... well yeah, the girl is unusual too with the welding gloves, and flimsy dress in a cops hat and pistol holster

Great home built kart... get a look at the steering wheel! Photo was taken by John Gutman, in Georgia, 1937 http://www.johngutmann.org/viewer/index.html and incredibly, ridethemachine.tumblr posted this yesterday... but I found it on "onthelosthighway.tumblr" today

The look of a maniac, ain't that a grin!
Dangerous and deadly racing.
http://onthelosthighway.tumblr.com/ is a guy who took these photos of his dad, and his dad's 1924 original and untouched Harley Davidson
http://onthelosthighway.tumblr.com/ is mostly tattoos, it's NSFW, but it also has a lot of respect for Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, and Babe Ruth.

Finally a Tumblr made for guys who are turned on by women who ride motorcycles "themotolady.com"

You didn't think I was just going to post perfectly unreal beautiful women on cafe racers and sports bikes did you? You ought to know by know I'm going to pass on them and see about the woman on the Flying Merkel straight away.

A bit of everything motorcycle on http://themotolady.com/ and it's not strict on the women on bikes theme, but its about 90/10 women to men. Great site, enjoy
