Look at a knife blade and think of that as how the fork legs would be formed. Instead of round fork legs like on many bikes these days they would be like the old Schwinn solid forks. From the front the legs look thin and from the side they are thick, but tappers down thinner at where the wheel bolts on.

That would look good but some how I've got to mount 2 bearings on the forks so the axel with move with the wheel

Yeah I've been looking around a lot and I'm going to use a 10mm fixed front axel and 2. 10 mm pillow block bearings bolted on to my fork legs then my crank arms on the wheel axel going throw the bearings :)
