Sure thing, I'll start up cutting some frames soon and try to figure out how mitering with minimal tools and no jig (maybe some make do wooden fictures and improvised axles) works. I will also try to learn some brazing this summer and maybe I manage to put something together with some help. Currently quite obsessed with reading a lot online on mitering/ brazing, which is not really ideal, since I should be finishing my thesis in following 2 weeks. Unfortunately no gear or jig for the near future in sight. I'll stop spamming now and open a thread when the time is right!

Everything needed to build frames can be self taught.
Reading the Paterek Manual and obsessing about geometry and fabrication methods is key.
Next is buying welding or brazing gear and figuring out how to join steel. Then you start joining tubes and thinking about jigs.
The easy way is going to TBA and have them teach you.
