To see Mark's living setup within the hangar: 13:30 Mark's famous BMW motorcycle build: 3:30 Non-tangible menial work alienates, whereas learning a trade can bring (meaningful) joy. Mark Atkinson turned his passion into work as a skilled machinist, making custom vehicles & plane parts in his live-work hangar. Mark “makr” Atkinson spent his youth learning to fix engines (of his father’s classic car) and rebuild motorcycles. Later, he taught himself welding and fabrication and set a landspeed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats on a bike he’d built. Today, he fabricates nearly everything in his life, even his bed and furniture that sit in the loft above his workshop (in an airplane hangar in Salt Lake City’s Skypark). One winter when the Bonneville races had been canceled, Atkinson found the work of Turkish industrial designer Mehmet Doruk Erdem and built the BMW Alpha: a one-of-a-kind shark-nosed land speed racer. A couple years later an engineer approached him asking for advice: “We make this really great electric motorcycle, but we're not selling them, where are we going wrong and I said, 'You're putting a gas tank on an electric bike. I think you've missed your opportunity to do something really great. You've got a clean slate, essentially 1880s when we started building motorcycles in the first place. You can do anything you want and you've chosen to do what we've already done." "It got me thinking, if I didn't have any preconceived ideas of what a motorcycle was supposed to look like. I came from the moon or mars and someone said build a vehicle with two wheels and an electric motor, what would you build and it was the Racer X bike.” For the Racer X, Atkinson created a bike shaped like an “X” using hubless wheels and duo-pivot servo-controlled steering. Atkinson has completely merged life and work and he loves it, but fears that we, as a society, undervalue machinist work and will pay a price. “My art and craft is dead when I'm gone. There is nobody to take over. The machine shops I've worked in there are no young kids there and you think, this stuff stops, when I'm done, it all comes to a stop. We've convinced every young kid out there to go to college, to sit in a frickin' cubicle and process insurance paperwork and whatever mindless crap. You think of all the things that are going wrong in our society and I think if you went back to working with your hands you'd understand where you fit in, what you bring to the table. and i think the sky's the limit here and you would find so much fulfillment in all the stuff you can create and grow and do.” https://speedofcheeseracing.com/ On *faircompanies: https://faircompanies.com/videos/workshop-home-of-a-machinist-inventor-life-value-of-handwork/
