For many frame builders the jig is their most essential bit of kit. It allows a frame builder to align a frame, ensure the wheels spin and check if everything is squared up. At Bamboo Bicycle Club, we’ve been building and designing custom bamboo specific jigs for the last 10 years. So for our first series finale live #workshopwednesdays session, we introduced our audience to our workshop and home build jigs! We took our audience through some of our best practices and how to use these jigs.
