About: When I started my apprenticeship in "the shop," my first project was to design and build a bicycle framebuilding jig and then a bicycle frame. I had zero formal instruction in CAD design, machining or fabrication. As a result, this project is a good glimpse into the first 4 months of my career as a machinist and fabricator.
