Here's the related story.

Artisan's Asylum is a hackerspace in Somerville MA, just north of Boston. I took a four week course there in machining, was a great learning experience on a Bridgeport Mill and [can't recall the name] lathe, real professional grade equipment. I will definitely take their welding class when I get the time...

These people are outstanding, the Asylum has had to double its shop space every 12-18 months because they're growing so fast. If you're in the Boston area and need a workshop, this place is definitely worth a look.
1st build: Dahon Jetstream folding bike. Quick, reliable, capable of 30mph. Light enough to lift, folds for easy transport by car/bus/train.
2nd build: RC powered 2009 Norco A-Line. Top speed 31mph. Built like a tank, it's resistant to Boston potholes, can stop on a dime, easily goes up/down curbs when necessary.
3rd build (just started): Scratch build ultimate utility bike.
