My buddy Rody at Groovy had me out for a paint primer. Lots of snaps on my IG.
Giant thanks to a giant of a man: Rody, brother- it was an awesome week.

Sometimes stuff rubs back…
After three weeks of working on fillets it could use a bit of a break. Oh well- none in sight.

Hadn’t seen these before. Not sure if they make sense for effbuilding vs. paper templates or whatever. But still a cool tool to know about and at $42 a piece could be a real timesaver if building a roll cage or something like that.

huh, we use linear versions of those to get corrosion profiles. And that’s not even their intended use.

you would need so many to do a bike. and they wouldn’t be accurate enough if you were using them for hand mitering.

I’ve done a couple bikes with paper templates, tbh they don’t seem to give great results and there isn’t really any time or effort saved.
Kinda handy on the top tube for keeping the miters in phase but for other joints I think I’m better off just going at it with a bastard file and checking the angle every once and a while. I’ve got a notching jig and some hole saws now that should work just fine on the tubing I use going forward though.
I got a surface plate two weeks ago, hopefully soon Jacques will get his lathe running so he can turn a BB post for it.
Did some prep tonight so I can do the HT/DT joint of frame number 3 tomorrow. I’d like to get it done for the end of the month…

the templates I printed from bcad for my most recent bike where really good. It took a couple of tries to print them at 100% scale. used them for the seat stays and chain stays and all the weird angle stuff.

Hmm, yeah maybe its just the rattlecad templates that suck.

I just used the templates in my mind for all the luggage carriers.

I should also point out the tiny Di-Arco #1 on the back end. I need to make tooling for it- that’ll be a longer term project.
