Welding of the frame rails in the MDF jig. a LVL plank was leveled on the work bench and then the jig was built up on it. Using a wood jig for welding is not a good idea and it did catch on fire.

Comment by Charles Brackenbury

Looks like a good, low tech process to produce a very nice result. Did you have to heat the flange before you pressed it into the jig, or was the clamp pressure enough? You day that wood wasn't such a great material to use for the jig, but as long as you're prepared with a bucket of water nearby, it seems like probably the best way to go.
