Wooden mudguards

I like the Daniel Salmon mudguards, some models have a small bridge that stays on and removeable blades. Not only they fit frames without clearance, they fill agap between regular mudguards and race-blades. For inspiration:

and here.

Thanks for all help everyone, more ideas are brewing and I'm starting to do more detailed research and getting some drawings down. I really want to get in the workshop and start protoyping but it's going to fair amount of time until then.

This is a really great tutorial for making fenders, and they won't spring bavk for a long long while!

Hello! I'm thinking of making some of these but the link is dead. does anyone fave a copy of the file they can upload?

muchos gracias x

I thought they were going to be a bit shoddy but they are loooking NICE! and they actually look like mudguards which isnt what i was expecting, anyways im not a mudguard person so i dotn need any but a recommendation, perhaps personalised colours?? I think your fan base would grow huge if you offerd colours as well as au natural.

Ha. Just in the process of getting tooled up to make some Wooden fenders in a colab with Tokyo FG, so I might be producing my own soon too. Keep y'all posted.

Cool, please do and details on prices etc when you've got a batch on the go.

I'm still interested.

This is THE book on modern techniques for making stuff out of laminated wood:
Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction: Wood and West System Materials: Amazon.co.uk: Meade Gougeon: Books
Very strongly recommended for anyone looking at making strong, light, compound-curved wooden things for wet environments.

Bump!

I'm going to make some from laminating veneers and then shaping the compound curve. I'll get some photos when I've done

My prototypes waiting to go on the Tokyo Dream Machine

Popped in to TFG yesterday and snapped a pic. They seemed to have worked out well for prototypes. Chuffed!

I've seen them on that bike, they're cool jammy. Good work.
