If you read the article on Sheldon Brown's site about the Electroforge process, it explains why all the joints on a frame cannot be electroforged. Since the framemembers are acting as the welding rods, if they are already connected, you cannot draw an arc. Also since the process consumes part of the tube material, the center tube must be welded in last.
