Budget frame jig idea

Very similar to the one I built from an instructable only using 8020 type extrusions.

Though it seems now to only be on pin trest. Still, a functional design whether you go extrusions or steel.
 
I recently found from another forum SendCutSend which does laser cut parts form DFX (and a few other format) files at a pretty reasonable price. Even small runs.

For example, these 3 different parts for an upcoming recumbents build, quantities 2-2-4, were just over $50. (1/4” 4130)

Budget frame jig idea

Very nice! You could use and old window frame for that.

This frame got me thinking: With all the diversity in bike building on this forum, could you build it all with this JIG?
We've got Muscle bikes (short?), Burrito's, Stretch, Klunkers and so on... very high and low bottom brackets.
