The hand filing mitres is quite therapeutic I found. I did the seat tube at the bottom. Whilst this doesn't actually fit up against another tube, I wanted it to follow the inner shape of the BB shell so filed that to shape
Here's the frame mocked up roughly. I did also cut the seat tube to length and tested the lug on the top but didn't "shoot" that.
Finally I started on the top tube. Measured all my butts... and filed my TT/HT mitre. Pretty happy with the fit up.
That's it for now. I will be working on it some evenings and into next weekend
I also hit myself in the thumb while filing which lead to Shining-like scenes
But then if you don't slice your thumb open while filing, were you even trying?
