Slow but steady progress. I only get a couple of hours in the evening now and then...

So, nothing major has been done but still big step for me. Scale drawing is done except for a detailed rear triangle drawing, not really sure how to approach that but I've checked the chain stays and the should fit OK without too much work. Other than that I've marked up the main triangle tubes and did my first miter on a proper tube! Done a lot of practice pieces before but even so I was a little nervous hitting the ST with the hacksaw and hand file =) I realize I might need a couple more hand files with bigger radius though. It was hard keeping an even and nice looking curve with the one I currently have but I'm fairly happy with the result. No jig or anything either so I'll be following the Paterek manual as much as I can and build something for the rear triangle when I get there.
