I spent the morning in the garage knocking some todos off the list. Cutting some new tube holding blocks out of wood and trying to figure out how to make the most of this fixture table. Getting better at measuring with lots of repetition.

ok coming back to this. blocks make sense, gg. band saw in the garage? fixture table feels like a puzzle that needs to be unlocked tbh. did you make that clamp? it’s gorgeous

No band saw here. Blocks are white wood 2x4 that I cut with a cordless circular saw set at 45deg angle and 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4” depths against a clamped square edge. Measuring was key to get my cuts to meet nicely in the middle to form nice Vs. I’ve since realized that varying the depths on a different scale would have been better, so when one side is flipped, it creates different sized holds. Rn the 1/4 + 3/4” Vs hold the same size as the pair of 1/2” Vs. This hodgepodge table came with a box of assorted accessories that look to have barely been used before. I’ve just been YouTubing to figure out how to apply them. Essentially round pucks and these aluminum arm slider things to hold things horizontally and special clamps for the vertical. Everything just locks into any 5/8” hole. Lots of leverage but doesn’t take much force at all to hold small things very securely.

clever use of the circ saw, im impressed. always time to refine the design if needed but you're prob set with those im assuming. do you have a frame stand for your bike? so what would be the scenario where you need to clamp a tube vertically onto a table? seems like a funny use case lol
