Hi Trevor.
Life is good. I hope you're making chips like a mad man. Are you hammering
out bits of hot iron too? It's a life filled with distractions as usual
for me. :)
I actually began my hunt at the WDM. I spoke with Ken Lorenz early in the
week and he's headed to big meet somewhere west so I'll get him some
images, but my hope isn't running on the high side.
Doren Degenstein teaches the wheelwright course at the WDM and my friend
with the buggy trouble has taken courses under Doren and Doren hasn't been
able to scare up anything. These hubs are rare in the west at any rate.
We'll get it done sooner or later, but not likely locally.
I didn't get a chance to talk to Pete's reference this week, but I'll check
that off the list shortly.
I have some Amish connections in Canada and the States so maybe those will
yield some results. Hope springs eternal.
