I have been asked to make some wooden bike fenders for a friend mine and was wondering if any one had made set or may have an opinion of my plan.
What i want to do is make fenders with a curve on the inside( tire side) as well as the out side (top) of the fender. In my mind i want to get my blank all cut and squared up. From there i will do the cove for the under side of the fender on my table saw, set it in my steamer and then bend to my form. From there its as simple as routing the outer(top) side of the fender on my router table.... I can easily make flat fenders but i would really like for the compound curve ones to work out on the first shot.
