PhilDAS learns to glue (mostly) metal

When are you going to make a cargo fork then?

Virtual line of people growing..

Very this.

I have myself and a friend keen.

Maybe I should actually pull my finger out and do it too.

Nobody ever got anything done by saying maybe 😁

Leaving it there for today.
I need a new drill to finish drilling the top tube for the internal brake cable routing and need to add gear cable stops and then it’s done.
Will need to borrow reaming and facing tools or get it done at the LBS before paint

Have you made my frame yet?

I would have done it by now but you haven't told me what size you need

I don't know! I need 1x bike please.

I don't know!

How does your arkose fit? Take some measurements
BB centre to top of saddle, distance between nose of saddle and the point directly above the BB
Stack and reach from the bb to the bars.
That should get the ball rolling

pm'd ya with some details... will also dig out tape measure.

I got some bottle cage mounts that need doing on my solaris for you Phil when you're ready

Sweet, I've got some spare bottle bosses but my drill has packed in so will need to get a new one soon.

I fully agree, and I'd do it if I had the space.

It looks like Phil is doing it in his kitchen.

Brill thread!
I tried some brazing recently and got the bug - it's a relaxing and absorbing experience. I'll post a pic of my first ever fillet braze..

I am indeed. I guess you would need some sort of cupboard to store the gas bottles if your significant other/boss/ball and chain insists on a tidy kitchen. I luckily have a small basement/bike cave

Mad scientist torch wielding selfie for good measure

Reminds me a bit continental clubbing

I'll post a pic of my first ever fillet braze..

Yeah man, do so! I haven't had much chance to practise fillets yet since I've just been working with lugs

don't want to spam your thread, but.. HA.. :D

are you using oxy propane in your living room?

Me or John?
I’m using oxy propane but am doing it near a large open sliding door to the garden. Tried outside but the torch blows out too easily

Very good first attempt that mate. Better than my first and I haven’t done much more since then.
I’m looking at doing a day brazing course to really get the technique down since they’re a bit more accessible than a full framebuilding course
