I attended project night at the Baltimore Foundery last night and spoke with co-founder and entrepreneur Jason Hardebeck about UMBC's KSR project.

First of all, they offer Welding 101 classes - a valuable skill for creating a kinetic sculpture frame. Second of all, they host project nights on Thursdays from 6-9pm, and would welcome a KSR group who want to build components. Check out this list of tools!
The third thing - and this is a really cool idea - is to use bamboo and epoxy for the kinetic sculpture frame. Bamboo is light, renewable, and incredibly strong. There is at least one company that is building bamboo bicycle frames: Calfee Design.
