was the guest of a frame builder in Nottingham he had a rack of hand files , a lot of half round ,

a bench vise with wooden blocks to grip the round tubes , and the brazing torches & tanks ..
he made pro race frames for people.. shop in ground floor of a 300+ year old house..

some jigs to locate V brake bosses , drilling water bottle boss holes , made rather than bought.

now a fluxing torch seems a good idea.... a guy in another part of Oregon made a pedal powered hole saw turner, that cut tube miters..
