Joint Jigger

The UPS guy finally delivered my new joint jigger. This will be a big improvement on the building speed. The picture is of the current project's top tube getting mitered for the seat tube. The result is a perfect fit within a fraction of the time it used to take me doing it all by hand. Now all I need to do is find some high quality cutters.

Tomorrow I've got a whole day planned for this frame. I hope to make good progress.

Getting ready

With a couple of orders, website all most ready, graphics all most sorted out and the frame jig rebuild to my building style. I am getting ready. A bunch of tubing is to arrive any day now. The firts order will be getting a lugged and fixed commuter bike. Knowing him he will get some of the nicest part's available for this bike.
Bart (check out the Bartswerk link to the right) is re-doing my graphics. The sample's I got looked great.
Next week will also mark the arrival of my Tube Notcher. No more hand forming my mitters!! This will al be done by a machine tool and very acurate! It had to come all way from good ol' US of A. So I had to wait a little.
That's about all for now, please check in later for more updates.
