fork is done! WOW !!! much different than the frame. Lots of meat to get warm and no real visual cues to indicate full flow. The bending jig worked well as did the fixture. The blades moved around some but no too bad. Maybe .05" was the worst and that was side to side. I am working on brazing sequence to minimize distorion but really a good first attempt. Flowing silver is tough especially when I am chasing a heat and gravity around the crown. Going through the process is really the only way to see what happens. I dumped too much in but it is stout. Lot of cleanup but stout none the less. What you see on the bending jig is a '170 lb.' rake. No lever just me balancing on top of the blade on top of the table. The blades do get stiff in a hurry! The rake actually came out to be right on. still though I need a lever. something to compound with a roller and a hoop to pry under. Pinned the drops, solid! drilled vent/ drain holes. Doing all of this I wonder about fillet brazing forks. That is alot of work and to keep everything aligned?? I will stick with lugs for now. crown and steerer went together then drop outs and blades. then glued the two together.
