Bare Bones Bicycle Fork Jig

Step 7 Make the Park Stand handle

This step will make the handle so that you can clamp the jig in a Park Stand, and then since it's round you can flip the fig over while you're brazing the fork. This can help when you're brazing a fork crown since it helps you with gravity when you're working on the steerer socket or the fork spigots.

Take your piece of round aluminum bar stock and drill and tap one end on center to M8. Then with a hand file, file a flat down on each side of the hole so that you are left with a ridge that will lock the handle into the T-slot. This keeps the handle from rotating and coming loose accidentally.
