http://www.thechainlink.org/events/heartland-velo-showhttp://www.heartlandveloshow.com/Home.htmlI just found out about this and want to go both days, leaving sat morning. If you are going and have an extra seat that would be fantastic. Otherwise, I would split a rental car and room (if needed), and drive.Let me know, Madison is a great place if you have never been.LeviSee More

on2wheels replied to Joe Sak's discussion 'Let's Stop Bitching about the Oil Spill and DO SOMETHING'"I would be up for designing a spoke card and helping out. Someone should get El Duke's Attention for a possible sponsorship.
I can talk to some friends who might be able to donate or volunteer.
Make an event when things firm up.

krems81 said… - Those fenders look nice. I'm thinking about making something similar. I'm wondering, where do I look for fender hardware?
Also, do you heat or moisten the wood before laminating to obtain the curve, or just glue and fix to a jig? You're not ripping the wood to thickness yourself, are you? I imagine it'd be tough to avoid blade burns completely, and you'd have to sand before laminating. If you buy the wood already at thickness, where do you go to get a selection?
Any tips would be helpful and very much appreciated.
Thanks!
