A self explanatory tour of fish creation. From the blade pile to the Art Auction!
Bicycle Fork Progress
Brazed in the drop outs. Slotting was a bit tricky but went well enough. Going to buy some stock for practicing that process more.
Next steps: cut blades to length and test the fork jig my nephew built for me.

Progress on Fork Blade Bender
Made good progress on fork blade bender this weekend. Got machined dies back from machinst buddy! Still some work to do on backing dies and calibration but bent a set anyway.
Once setup I should be able to bend both at once. Already had the Hossfeld Bender for other fab work so what the heck.
First set turned out good enough for the newbie.
Not titled
Inspired by David Smith. Stands about 7 feet. Steel remnants up to 3/4 inch thick give it a substantial presence.
Bicycle Fork in Progress
While my fork bending dies are being machined I started working on the crown and steerer tube assembly.

Some works in progress that I hope to have ready in time. Large rings stand about 6 feet tall.
Augers bits are from Maine tool shop. Look like they are dancing….to be determined. They actually might be bickering.
