Sorry for the tardy response Bill. I missed it over the weekend.
Things are progressing nicely. I've set aside the next month for some dedicated time to finishing up the last bits of tooling which is mostly chain stay process oriented. The first of two Huntsman prototypes are prepped and ready to be tacked and the front triangle is finished for the first of two Marauder 1x11 with SS option. Yesterday was spent starting in on finishing some bending die's for .875" O.D. chain stays and doing some test bends so I can create some master drawings of mountain bike chain stays to be used as templates.
Ironically, making a 1.375" O.D. seat tube with a bend in it is somehow easier than bending .875" O.D. chain stays but that has more to do with the size of the radius of course. I may make a dedicated bender just for chain stay's that works much like my bender does for seat tubes. The roller for the Anvil bender is a bit too small for starters.
Here's the Marauder front triangle finished up. Pretty excited about this one naturally. It's been really exciting to start fresh and be learning a lot refining my methodology and subsequent process.
