There are many specialty tools used to build a bicycle frame. Some of them are shown here in the photos that I took while at the UBI Chromoly Brazing Frame Building class.
They are quite handy to have but aren’t accessible to a beginning frame builder. The expense is too great to go and buy everything needed to get started; too expensive for me anyway.

Did you read about the PDX guy who wants to create a framebuilders club to help small builders pool resources?

I did see that, waiting for details. It’s a great idea and I’m all for it.
