Default RE: the BIG one

coming up with the necessary jigs to keep everything lined up and square in 3 dimensions I find is the part that requires the most thought, time and beer

Indeed.

I recently bought one of these

Which helps a lot.

I tried using those red triangle/arrow shaped magnets but found them useless.
Not strong enough to hold the work pieces in place.



For the odd angles on the frame I'm making here, I used lots of little welding clamps and a 15mm thick aluminium piece to hold it all together.
