Do we know each other and I don't recognize you from your screen name? The fixtures I have laser cut and etched out of stainless steel I have made in Ukraine. A variety of people including engineers have helped me design these over the years. There are several versions with some having more features (we say "bells and whistles") and cost more. Of course they are much cheaper to manufacture in Ukraine than in the US. One of our former translator's dad is the part owner of a company that makes laser cutters. There have been a couple of Ukrainian amateur builders that have visited me at our frame/bicycle shop on a college campus in Bucha just west of Kyiv. We do a project to provide utility type of bicycles to pastors that work near the Russian border.

The flat table we use in Bucha for frame alignment was also made by the same company.
