The story is that Joel Greenblatt of Clockwork Bikes developed a series of seat stay mitering fixtures in his shop for his process. After a couple rounds of designs he got to something he was quite happy with and asked if we’d run with it and offer it to the public. We really liked the design and took it on. What you see now is not exactly the same tool, but it’s obviously inspired by it. We’ve converted all dimensions and hardware to metric, added a bunch of features, tweaked a ton of details, and we’ve been able to bring it up to a high cosmetic level with laser etching, filleted edges, contrasting anodize, etc.
