I used some of those tools the other day too. It is awesome to be able to have access to all those frame tools. The dropout alignment tool is probably my favorite.Awesome set of tools!
Nice work Tristan.

Sorry about not being around lately, I have been really busy with work. But to day was my day off and I got a cool part for my build
Not a bad buy for only 30 bucks, the frame still has a hole in it but i have a crank set from a Columbia built 50's WesternFlyer, I mite try to get the bike together tomorrow, the place this photo was taken was at the Boise Vintage bicycle swap we have yearly I have a lot more pics so I will post them later

Great chain guard! I love the progress so far. Although I'm worried about that chunk missing out of the chain stay. My guess is to fill it with weld, then grind it down and blend it in. It will require some paint and patina to match, but luckily it's in a small area.
or maybe someone has a better idea?

Love the guard you picked up. Look forward to this Columbia falling into place.

I think that hole is too big to fill in with weld. It needs a patch piece welded in and it will be fine.

So I finely got my frame back from the welder, and he did a great job
he also fixed my bent crank the sad thing is I could not use it it was to big for the chain guard I ended up using a 1951 WesterFlyer crank
here is a little before and after
here is the crank that I ended up using
brand new chain
as I post this the bike is basically done just some little things left to do
