Dialed in the Bench Master for 1.5″ BB notches.  Also have Bringhelli jig dialed in on the Millrite.  Still perfecting the sequence of remaining cuts..

Faux Headset in action…super clean look for display and proper stack size for constructing with (fenders, racks, bars…).  Used nylon tipped set screw so not to damage the fork threads.

Got some aluminum tube and did another set of dummy headset.  Still need to do set screw…more as I get that done.

Got an interesting dummy headset from a friend of mine to duplicate.  My intention is to use aluminum (his is steel) but I did start one from steel because I am still waiting for aluminum to show up.

The dummy headset will allow elegant and simple display of frameset.  No more zip ties or ugly rubber grommets. May also aid in frame construction and prep.  Will mock standard stack heights.

More pics soon as I complete the set screw and facing.

Drilling out rough size for 1″ steerer tube.  Will use boring bar to finish to size.

Lower cup completed.  Original upper cup off to the right.

Original and new lower cup. 

More hooks to make but rack is all in place.  The rack is for service and inventory..not for display.  Boxes are lined up where the second level of bikes will hang.
