DISCLAIMER: I'm a hobbyist, not a professional, but...

Back when I was into making carbon fiber stuff, I hosted a "Composite Party" at my place.

http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=150212

20 + folks showed up and everyone made a simple carbon fiber part. It was a great time and I was thinking it'd be fun to do something like this with the 914 World folks.

So, how about a get together at my place in Petaluma where we could talk about fabrication and welding and attendees could make things?

- Maybe you'd like to learn about and bend up your own roll bar? (Andrew (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) )
- Or do you need some sheet metal cut on the plasma table and bent up on the mag brake and want to give a go to doing it yourself?
- Are you trying to fabricate a part for rust repair and could use a tool I may have?
- You're bored - and watching others do stuff like this is better than sitting at home?

I'm sure I could persuade Martin to attend and he can demo un-f-ing-believable TIG welding and other fabrication techniques.

If nothing else, it'd be fun to meet up in person and "talk teeners"!

Anyway, let me know if you're interested, what you'd like to make or learn a bit more about and let's see what we can put together.

EDIT: Tools that will be available:
- Hydraulic bender w/ various dies.
- Hydraulic press
- Tubing notcher
- Roll bender w/various dies
- Plasma table
- 48" sheet metal brake
- bead roller
- shrinker / strecther
- English wheel
- fixturing table
- band saw (al and steel)
- cold saw
- TIG welder
- MIG welder
- 9" lathe
- Body working hammers/dollies
- Misc. hand tools


If you need material, I can coordinate getting it here.

Sheet metal and non DOM tube is available at Van Bebber Bros in Petaluma
DOM tube can be ordered from Tube Service in Milpitas, CA and they will deliver for $20.

Please PM me and we can schedule a time to talk about what you need.
