That was an amazing 18 minute monologue! No cuts, you knew exactly what you needed to cover, and you covered it in a clear, succinct, logical sequence. Great video, and as always great content.
Just stumbled onto your channel - you have my deep respect for investing so much time and energy into the making of these videos. Thank you for openly sharing the knowledge you have acquired so other people get an easier access to the topic :) Greetings from germany, Im already trying to figure out with what kind of low-budget fixture I can get away with for a first test frame :D
I would love to offer that at some point. It might be a year or so because it’s a complicated proposition. There are so many parts to make, the design is critical so there would be a ton of time into designing it, and just the cost of making a batch of them upfront is huge. But yeah I will likely offer a fixture in the future!
Ha, not many! At my peak maybe 5 in a year. Usually 1-3 lately. I’m switched over to the pursuit of framebuilding tooling now, but I want to keep making bikes just to keep learning and maintaining my relevance as someone qualified to design and sell such tools.

Your channel is the best framebuilding material on the youtube! Awesome!
Thanks!
This is the best JIG I've ever seen. You are using the most-sense coordinate system to build a frame.
Are you planning to sell that JIG?

Thanks! I wish there were TH-cam videos about framebuilding when I was trying to figure out what the hell I was doing.
Great work and well thought out .
love the content cant wait to see future videos
I'd love to see you produce a fixture, or jig kit.
I would defo buy a jig kit

Is there any progress or further thought on this?
What about a bike frame that doesn't use straight pieces, something like the early 70's schwinn sting ray krate series
What would be a good frame jig to buy? Do happen to have a few suggestions
I have one coming out that will be available in the coming months. Sputnik tool in Maine has a very good frame fixture also.
Joe... How many frames do you build a year ? Awesome channel 👍

How much sir?
345 hours of labor , + materials , + overhead , looks to me that You would earn more per hour working @ McDonald :) sad times
