Hello from Ithaca NY, wading into frame building

Things are finally thawing in upstate NY. I've chiseled away the salt from the CrossCheck and have started to get back to it. I'm also finally stepping into the bicycle frame building world. Will be going to the Bicycle Academy this summer to get started. I'm currently trying to digest all the information i can get and look for ways to get a small home shop up and running for a reasonable amount of time and money.

Cheers.
