Video 5 of low budget frame jig series. Lets make the rear column and drop out fixture. Play List: • Pithy Bikes - Low Budg... Music Bad Snacks / @badsnacks
Always enjoyable videos! I just saw a video with a tip on how to stop wood pieces from slipping when gluing and clamping which was to sprinkle a bit of salt between the pieces. I've never tried it myself, but it looked like it worked well to avoid slippage. Keep the wonderful videos coming!
When you finish, include a comparison of cost of the aluminum version you built before. Regardless of price, I think I like this one better. Seems more direct and less susceptible to alignment issues.
I can't remember how much the alu jig /archtos style jig cost. I just now it was a lot! :) In addition to materials, the build process affects price a lot too. For the wood jig, the biggest expense is a drill press. All said and done, the wood jig will still land under $500 even including a brand new drill press. The aluminum extrusion jig requires a milling machine and lathe - for that build it will cost in the ball park of $2k. Time is also a factor. You probably remember how long it took me to build the aluminum jig.. a long time! This wood jig could be built in roughly 3 weekends. Thanks for sticking around David, I know you've been watching the channel for a long time! :)
@@PithyBikes Well, some tools will still be needed for working with the tubing so some of that will be unavoidable. But it isn't really about saving money, it's a lot cheaper to buy a frame.
Filippo Cacciola Hi Filipino, I haven’t released them yet because I’m still working on refining the design. However I think I’m getting close so maybe soon I can release sooner to anyone who wants to test the design. Please contact me be email to remind me. Thanks!
You’ve got a gift my friend . I’m consistently impressed with your build quality with being so new at fabrication. Keep it up!!
how carefully u r always and it presence of mind is very gud 👍

and that's why I should just enjoy the videos without comment... Pierre said the same thing a few hours before ... oh well :)
@@fredstephens1459 I always welcome comments! :)
very nice jig build! i love making stuff that helps me make other stuff, haha. keep up the great work!
Hi ! Nice video as always ! Quick tip : you can use salt on the glue to prevent the pieces from sliding around :)
Great project and video. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice quality work, and on the vid as well .

@@DavidKirtley So true!
Great video! Somewhat unrelated question but how do you feel cutting wood with a metal band saw compares with a wood bandsaw for straight cuts?
I would much rather use a dedicated wood bandsaw. I hope some day to get a small one. It’s a bummer when metal chips and oils get on the wood!
@@PithyBikes thanks for the reply!
Hello Steve it’s filippo here!
Where can I find all the wood and steel plates hole measures? I didn’t find anything on the site.

Why not order a plasma cutting metal? It would be more accurate and faster and better.
