Started the course yesterday. Plenty of practice brazing laying down filler on a flat workpiece, then managed one test tube joint, which is of course looking far from where I'd like to be. But also I had the fear that I would really struggle with the hand eye coordination necessary, and I did find it really tough at first, so I'm very pleased with the outcome so far.
Also managed to confirm fork and rear triangle geometry. The fork will be similar to one already made by the instructor, but the rear triangle needed a full 2D plan drawing for crank, chainring, tyre etc clearance. We will be using Columbus Life road chainstays with a small dimple for the chainring.
