A few people had expressed interest in the stem jig I made myself and I had bought multiples of some of the parts so I got another couple bits of ali bar stock and visited my old man today to use his lathe and I now have one jig ready to go and will have another once I get some more extrusion in.
Most of it is off the shelf extrusions and brackets but the bar stock needs the ends squaring and a hole boring right through in the lathe.
The aluminium bar acts quite well as a heatsink and the extrusion seems to shrug off getting toasted by the torch remarkably well.
Base is 350mm long so realistically you could be building stems up to about 300mm centre to centre and the upright is 300mm so 250mm+ of rise/fall is possible.
I've just done ali bar for 1 1/8" steerer and 31.8mm bar clamp but I could get bar stock that would replicate a 1" steerer and/or 26/25.4/22.2mm handlebar diameters if required.
