1:4 scale Ritchey P20, this is going to take a while...

Time to get jiggy with it.

The front triangle is sandwiched between two jigs. That's the bottom bracket shell at the top.



Then the jig used for cutting the chainstays clips in. Now I can drill the bottom bracket shell to let the hot air out when it is soldered.



A couple of holes later and we are ready to light the torch.

I forgot to take a picture of the soldering the chainstays, but next was the seat stay-seat tube junction.



This is the last of the soldering, now we have a frame.

Happy Panda.

Time to mix some filler...

Now that you have determined the frame geometry and soldered your frame, you no longer need the much too large template. I will gladly take it off your hands and put it to another use.

Awesome work again. Amazing!

Astonishing work. I reckon some custom frame builders aren’t as accurate as this!
(Steve Ellsworth at MKM never used any jigs!)

I'm intrigued,
I can't imagine what "another use" might be.

Building it up and riding it as hard as I can....to the local ice cream shop

Riding it?
I thought that real bikes were just for taking measurements from.

And now I want ice cream.

To be honest, I always want ice cream.

Just ridiculously skillful. This is my favourite thing on the internet.

That's very kind of you to say so, but you clearly haven't seen THIS.
