Not rightly sure yet. You ever looked at the rule book? All 200 odd pages...I know there are endless classes…
What class are you guys looking to enter?

that's one skill I never learned how to do, I'm still dreaming of taking classes one day and find a decent old lathe for my garage - reality is that it's probably not happen :-( nice work I'm envy !Was gonna buy these, but I was cleaning up the disaster that's my basement right now, and ran across some 6061-T6 1-1/2" solid round. Stainless would'a been nicer... but no money spent is pretty nice... Right?
It's 35° with rain and sleet out there. What else am I gonna do?

Tightening down the cones on the headstock... maybe also a clamping function on the jig? Or alignment spigots for adjoining frame tubes?I'll bite, function of two cylinders on the left?
Hats off to you Jim! Love these significant projects. Have too many myself!Phil and I both have a lifelong dream of building a LSR bike. About a year ago someone from Oz or NZ posted some pics of the bike he built. Ever since, every time Phil and I get together, that's pretty much all we've talked about. Phil has already started his and.... well, ya don' think I'm gonna let him have all the fun, do you?

Do you have the Chop Source frame jig or are you building your own?One's the pivot, the other's to lock it in place. Obviously I'm puttin' my own "spin" the the concept.

Same as my Logan 820. A mid-40's machine, I believe. Tons of support for it. Owned it for several years before restoring it, as a real need (for a small business) drove the restoration.Thanks! I've never learned either. I keep pluggin' away at it though.
My Atlas is over 70yrs old. I paid a hundred bucks for it iirc and picked it up in several cardboard boxes. Took a while to put it together.... just like our bikes, there's pretty good online support for 'em.
I built the frame jig about 5-6yrs ago. Like I said, this is a dream/plan I've had forever. Built during the SG resto and used to paint the frame on it.Do you have the Chop Source frame jig or are you building your own?
Yes, of course, I recall seeing the rotisserie but had somewhat forgotten about it. I hadn't seen the development of a headtube fixture, either, so I assumed it was a painting fixture only.
