Day one done and it was amazing. Started off with a bit of half and safety over a cup of coffee and then moved on to looking at our tube sets, checking over our Bike CAD drawings and setting up the jigs. Matt has two jigs so we can build our frames simultaneously.
Next we started on the front triangle by cutting tubes on the lathe. I’ve never worked with metal before so I found this fascinating and Matt explained everything in a way that was informative and exciting. Ensuring the tubes all fit together took a surprisingly long time but we pretty much got the front triangle on both bikes cut.
Finally we spent some time learning how to braze. Again, this is something I’ve never done before. Gabi was a natural and was producing great results in no time. Can’t wait to get back at it tomorrow.
