first aluminum batch of the year

This pile of tubes represents an afternoons work. I did machine the headtubes yesterday but all the mitering , welding and alignment took place between 2 and 6 p.m. The morning was devoted to a really ugly seat tube repair on a more mass-produced frame. The work came out great but I think I charged about half of what I should have....out of sympathy, I guess. The aluminum batch is at four now but will be about eight when I'm done.
