Still no drawings yet. They exist, but in paper form. Scanning them is a Chore I have been avoiding.
Now's the time, though. I have a workshop and I have an office and I have a strong idea.
The key to making this work as far as I am concerned is to lower the price of my materials by as much as I can by repurposing commonly available materials. It's already been proven that you can build a pretty good cargo bike that way, if you put the time into it and choose your parts carefully.
My next step is to sophisticate the process.
I'm looking to build a universally adjustable holding system that I can use to keep frames straight and even while in the process of welding or brazing.
I have two major ideas on how to accomplish that, one using wood and one using metal.
Obviously one is cheaper and the other is less sketchy.
The metal one is what my mind is on today.
I plan to use Bed Frames. They can be found everywhere, for cheap or for very little, and after angle-grinding all the components like feet and connectors off of them, you have straight pieces of angle steel.
I'm working out a way to turn that into what i need, and I can see it in my mind, but there's no way I can describe it with words. My next drawing session will focus on this.
