Bonneville Salt Flats - Burt Munro

In 1967 Burt Munro came to the US from New Zealand to ride his 1920 Indian Scout motorcycle in timed speed runs at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats. Burt set a land speed record there in the under 1000cc class. A movie was made in recent years documenting the journey in which Anthony Hopkins stars as Burt Munro. An awesome look into one man's endeavor to fulfill his vision of riding his bike at Speed Week. "The World's Fastest Indian", if you're into speed and want to go to Bonneville then you will enjoy this story. Download it from iTunes or hunt it down on Netflix or where ever you get your flix...

Hot Wrought Iron

Watch Field Gate Hinges on PBS. See more from pbs.

If you enjoy blacksmith work then maybe this episode of The Woodwright's Shop from PBS will educate and inspire you as it has me. Roy has recently framed a heavy oak field gate and needs some hinges to swing it on. In this episode Roy visits Peter Ross at his blacksmith shop to have a lesson in wrought iron hinge making. Who doesn't want to hammer some hot iron?
