I Will Be At The Bike Craft Fair May 3rd Brooklyn Boulders In Somerville

Some of you may know that I occasionally dabble in metal working (see here and here and here, as well as on the right hand side of the page).  Well I am going to actually go out into the real world, put my shingle out and see if folks like my stuff up close.  I will be attending a bike craft fair at Brooklyn Boulders Saturday May 3rd from 11am-2pm, 12A Tyler Street Somerville.  Stop by and buy my stuff!  It is my understanding you will have to buy a day pass to see the bike craft fair, but for 19$ you also get a day of rock climbing including gear rental!

Here are some of the things I will have on sale.

and more!
