A while back, I seemingly spiraled out of control. I don't like to mix blogs, but since Lost Boy Creations is a part of me, my personal demons and hurdles may as well be known. I have a very small Blog about my T1D. I rarely get a chance to update it. I am far more interested in LBC. I wrote this passage a long time ago, but its really important to note how distressing, aggravating, and emotional a disease can be. Especially an autoimmune disease.

Autos, Cycles, Instruments, and a whole bunch of other stuff including Custom Fabrications, Tattoos, Music, Atvs, Guns, Games, Family, Friends, Coatings, ect.... Occasionally just crying about stuff. I hate to love New Jersey.

Powder-Coat Oven (do it myself)
I had Adam (my friend) drop off two 55 gallon drums yesterday. I used one to turn into a powder spray booth. I am now fitting oven heating elements into that old smoker and will insulate the entire thing. This should make for a much better oven with a good amount of usable space. Updates, and Pics to follow...

Here's a before:
With the new gun and the same powder it finished exactly how I wanted it. Very nice:
