Frame Design

Finally got around to posting a new blog entry. I've been busy trying to arrive at a final design for the frame. I've run into problems trying to make the frame look how I want but also keeping it strong enough to not collapse when am giving it full beans. The drawing below is what i have for now but i wouldn't be surprised if it needs some more small modifications :/


This is the working drawing for the jig i have designed through solidworks to mount the frame. Hopefully this jig will help maintain a high level of accuracy. I'm having to use a professional metal fabricator to machine some of the bits on the jig for me. Hopefully the next entry will have a picture of the real thing!
