Got enough of my revised frame fixture together to hold a old carbon cross frame. 20200 extrusion backbone mounted on a remixed steel, prime day engine stand. For only being tacked and pinned together to start, it feels pretty solid. 2ft of extra Z height gets me bench height(ish) welding and enough clearance for full Y axis rotation. That should be ideal for tacking tubes the way I’d like to, along the edge of symmetry and with gravity always working in my favor. Can’t get that with it horizontal on a table. Pretty easy transfer of the tube holders this evening from table to spine once I got the stand mocked up. Still some editing to do here but Stoked

Brazing again. Still tool making vs welding bike frame tubes — progress nonetheless. I haven’t been able to avoid the infamous framebuilder shop side quests, but we ball. This time, scraps for shimming and eventually extending a Prime Day Vevor engine stand for holding an even better frame jig haha. Always a better mouse trap! Also got a slick, portable AC that has me pining to add a ceiling to the garage and insulating a bit between the rafters.
