Hi guys, since I have multiple frame jobs in the shed and in my head... I will pick up this work when I am nearly finishing my SWBO bicycle.
I am thinking about entering the next build off too, since I have a bog standard and beautiful bike I want to change the frame a bit.
And I'll use this topic for notes:
Currently I am manifesting a more professional frame building shop and work on custom parts. Yes I am taking my time![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
But since I am enthusiastic and slowly learning about the works of (among many more) Viktor Schauberger and Richard Buckminster Fuller, I am thinking about material use and the unforced application of 'sacred geometry' in my works. Or at least learn and see what works... go with the flow so to speak.
That means I am orienting my methods and tools depending on the design and frame materials I will use, wood or metal.
Building a custom frame made out of wood is a challenge and a deep fascination for me.
But finishing the frame JIG the the starting point of that orientation!
Some inspirational pictures I found on the internet:
Beautiful!
Wood.
