Does he want to be a professional frame builder? A full set of Anvil tooling and the right machines can be the difference between building 3-5 frames per week as a professional and 2-4 frames per month as a hobbyist...

Of course, Anvil is top-of-the-line stuff; there are cheaper jigs you can buy. Or you can do what most frame builders do: spend a couple of months building a custom jig while you're waiting for a customer willing to risk their life riding a frame built by someone they've never heard about.
