You've got an interesting work station. It looks very professional. Are you a welder by trade? Also, did you "pin" the lugs and tubes before you brazed them? I would be interested to know how it handles on a fast decent - does it get the "speed wobbles" with the twitchy front end?

Like others here, I would like to have a go at building a frame but, in my case, putting words into action doesn't happen that often. Congratulations on your enterprising nature and drive to attempt such a challenging task. I really hope you end up as a master frame builder some day.
