You can recognize an excellent engineer (or one who has great professional potential) after "laughing" about his previous projects. I'm in awe!!!! Dude, it's freaking excellent analysis of a tool, which should and actually is in the core, or a heart of every bike making shop. An awesome video and awesome professional! Bravo!!!
What a talent, loved watching it, will never get that far, as I ams starting with a little bit of that and this. But your passion and honesty is unbelievable strong. Will watch some more, just to learn little things. Good luck with all you do.
You're smart to dig ever deeper into developing and offering tools to other frame builders. Picks and shovels man. There's money there. A buddy told me once that there are tool makers, and there are tool users, and they're rarely the same people. So if you have a natural interest and talent for inventing and offering tools for people, then by all means don't fight that about yourself.
Joe, those Videos are soo good! They warm my heart. ! I love to see you nerd out on this kind of stuff. I´d be super stoked on a Framebuilding-series! Greetings from Germany

LOVE your frame jig/design, despite all your dislikes (understandable as the maker). Hope we can meet at NAHBS 19 this year, my buddy Dave and I will be coming out from Dallas Texas ( daltex.bike), cheers!
I'm really enjoying all your content dude, fantastic stuff. You have a gift for presenting this stuff in a way that's easy to understand, extremely entertaining and very casual. Very impressive. Steve from Pithy (damn you Steve!! :) ) reignited my interest in building frames (been wanting to build since 2005) and I bought a TIG and a vintage Clausing mill and lathe because of his channel. Well, I got sucked in deep into the vintage machinist tool restoration world and I'm on my 4th lathe and 3rd mill. I actually have a Clausing 5914 like yours that's been totally rebuilt. Now that I've forced myself to stop with the machine restorations I'm going to focus back on why I got these machines to begin with: frame building. I still need to make my jig and get going but you can imagine my excitement to find your content. Regarding your vertical height adjustment. What size rails are those? I have a bunch of linear ball bushings that would be perfect for that application. Guarantee they'd make the whole system glide like butter. Let me know and I'll see what I have and send some off to you if you'd like -Ryan
For height adjustment, use threaded rod. Graphite lube would probably work well in those conditions. It's probably difficult to find threaded rod that large.
Yeah, if I used threaded rod I would need bearings on the ends of the rod and some kinda motor drive. To crank it by hand would be so slow that it would defeat the purpose (making it *easy* to do my best work.) So I think the best solution is just live with it as it is or go balls out and put a servo motor on the leadscrew and that's just a big project.
great video, thanks, enjoying the podcast to, I would love you to get B Bingham on the show and talk about welding technics (-: anyway, what is the name again of the extrution you have used ? thanks, Mick
Brad Bingham is going to be on the podcast first thing when season 2 goes live. I just had some technical difficulties last time we tried to record and things have been hectic. Soon!
Hey Joe, great video. Do you have different lower head tube mounts for different types of head tubes? Where did you get your tape measures from? How did you apply them to the extrusion? Looking forward to your next videos!
You could possibly, it would depend on the size of the frame and the style of the ISP. Because the frame fixture is so modular, you could get a longer piece of extrusion for extra long seat tubes without much hassle.
Winky's drill press column would work beautifully for adjusting your frame's height. Simple principle and once you know it the design could easily be adapted to your needs. This video: ruclips.net/video/i4_FtMMMfDw/видео.html
I don’t make and sell the frame fixture. If I were to produce something like this for sale it would be refined and re-engineered and would sell for $3-6k
I really enjoyed your explanation. I'd love to make my own ebike frame one day, and this is hugely inspiring.

That fixture is amazing. I would wake up every morning and go look at it with my cup of coffee. Inspirational as always
Thanks!

Joe! Great video and looking forward to whatever you shoot next, be it more tooling or a whole series. I'd love to see a hardtail start to finish.
It's nice to see a youtuber I follow watching another youtuber I follow. Keep up with the good work, folks! 🔥
You’ve obviously got a talent for making tools, that jig looks top notch 😎😎😎😎
Joe if you build your dream jig, I might buy one, but for now I will keep borrowing pithybikes! Love your IG videos too! Super funny and fun!
Impressive work, very well built. Thanks for sharing.
Impressive. You seem like a rad dude. Thanks for the insight.

I can understand the temptation to just restore the machines! Shoot me an email about the linear bearings joeroggenbuck@gmail.com :)
They make linear bearings that would work on that polished vertical adjustment rods
Heckyes Joe! Cant wait for a mountainbike frame building series.what are your thoughts on BML entry level jigs?
Super brother,

You rock buddy! Keep the good work coming
Amazing and Helpful, learned a lot. Thank you.
Thanks ! Very interesting & useful vid
Loving your machining skills on your bike jig ,I also follow Tom Lipton awesome machinist
this is PRO level...congrats and thanks for sharing your idea's and work. So curious, where did you get those black slider extrusion things?
Good luck. Try 80/20 or McMaster Carr. Easy to find actually. Google linear motion.
Nice jig! The black profiles, is that a standard aluminium profile?
For height adjustment, use threaded rod. Graphite lube would probably work well in those conditions.
It's probably difficult to find threaded rod that large.
Yeah, if I used threaded rod I would need bearings on the ends of the rod and some kinda motor drive.

Will the fixture accomodate the 65hta and 76sta? Looks like that scale doesn't go to 11 :)
Hey Joe, great video. Do you have different lower head tube mounts for different types of head tubes? Where did you get your tape measures from? How did you apply them to the extrusion? Looking forward to your next videos!
Thanks @@cobraframebuilding! Really helpful as I'm currently designing my first jig.
Quick Question Joe, do sell you bike fixtures? and are you able to ship overseas, I live in Jakarta Indonesia
Would it be possible to use this to make a 20" bmx frame with this jig?
Yeah definitely
I always think your CNC mill head looks like a Gamecube console 0:01
Yesssssssssssss! Sooo good!
can you do frames with integreated seatmast in this jig?
You could possibly, it would depend on the size of the frame and the style of the ISP. Because the frame fixture is so modular, you could get a longer piece of extrusion for extra long seat tubes without much hassle.
Cobra Framebuilding 63cm from bb? coul you fillet braze a xcr custom frame without finishing it?

How much is that ?
Amazing!
This might be my long lost brother.
Good Artists Copy; Great Artists Steal (Steel)
how much for that setup?
I don’t make and sell the frame fixture. If I were to produce something like this for sale it would be refined and re-engineered and would sell for $3-6k
@@cobraframebuilding - ok thank you , you have a Fan here bro...nice work you do thanks to share
Pithy Bikes brought me here.
Where did you get the rulers that you used on your fixture?
I think I got those from the Oregon Rule Co. I ordered them through MSC Direct but I think you can also buy them directly from Oregon Rule Co.
