Some good and less good advice here. I would not use a builder's jig, that's not the jig's purpose and there are faster methods to check alignment as the bending is going along that cost MUCH less. I would do some of the chain stay then some of the seat stay and back a few times to "walk up to" the best final outcome. Fr the best visuals you want to focus the bending focal point to where it is now. The Park tool really won't do this as well as clamped boards will, I have done a combo before though with metal channel clamped to the stays to better locate the bending point. Andy
