The bars under the seat tube and head tube are made from pieces of 80/20. Here is the table setup as a front triangle jig: This table is accurately machined flat (not as perfectly as a surface plate, but well enough for bicycle frames) so I can also use it as an alignment table.Everything will be modular so that I can use the same base for building forks, rear triangles and other things. I’m building my fixture around a milling table that is 9 inches by 36 inches with 3 T-Slots running the length of the table. I have most of the front triangle fixture completed. The first is building tooling that will be used on any frames that I built. Real progress on the cargo bike is occuring on two fronts. There are a few changes and I switched the drawing to much easier to work with software (TurboCAD, I was using QCad). The basement is a disaster, but I never feel like stopping work to tidy up. I’m embarrassed to show these photos of the cargo bike and fixture in progress because they show how much of a slob I can be about my workspace. ![]() Hopefully we can finish it up next weekend. It took us a little while to figure out the best way to build the deck (especially because we are doing it in sections so that it can be disassembled), but now it is going pretty fast. We’re using hidden fasteners called EB-TY. The new decking is Tigerwood (from Ecohaus) and I really like how it looks so far. ![]() We’re also waiting on 5 more boards to be delivered. We were hoping to finish it this weekend but the 90F weather kept us off of the roof. I have nothing finished to show, but I have progress on the deck, cargo bike, and my bicycle jig.
