Got started on a set of forks for the tracklocross bike. Made a set of dropouts from what i thought was 4130 and bodged the jig onto my framejig. Mitred up the legs and was all going well til i tried to tack it. Something about the dropout steel was just awful to weld, puddle all squigley flying around. So didnt bother going any further, no point trying to weld against the odds. Ive bought some dropouts and will continue when they arrive
