Then using the appropriate sized tube lifts (also clamped to the jig as shown), line up the seat tube against the bottom bracket over the vent hole.

The Paterek Manual for Bicycle Framebuilders Third Edition 2004.
This used to be available direct from the author but his website appears to have gone some time ago.
Acknowledged as the most comprehensive modern guide to traditional framebuilding. Covers all aspects of lugged and fillet brazing frames and includes tandems. Does not teach you how to braze and assumes this you should learn this elsewhere. His method is probably not the one most framebuilders now use as he builds on a table with full size drawings otherwise using fixtures for sub assemblies. However all the information is still relevant to jig builders. I purchased this before I built my first frame at home and found it invaluable, enabling me to tackle aspects I was unsure of with confidence. It was nearly as good as having your own tutor at home. Well worth the money.

NB. Although there is no source of new paper copies of the manual it can be purchased as a Kindle download from Amazon in two volumes costing less than £30. Air dispersion modelling software, free download for windows 7. (I paid over £60 for my hard copy from the USA).

Lugged Bicycle Frame Construction, A Manual for the First Time Builder.
Expanded Second Edition.
Marc-Andre R. Chimonas
I read this book before building my first frame at home and rapidly decided I needed to buy the Paterek Manual, a book acknowledged by the author. Another American book written by someone who taught himself framebuilding. Though not bereft of useful information it does give guidance only on the use of silver solder and a torch powered by canisters of MAPP gas rather than the use of oxygen.
It tends to be rather prescriptive of how to build, building a bike entirely determined by the angles of the lugs. It also tends to be repetitive and is stuffed full of acronyms. I have some sympathy for the author’s assertions that framebuilding courses are expensive and in the USA may be prohibitively far away, but that hardly applies in the UK. A fourth edition is now available which apparently covers oxy -fuel methods.
The third edition is still available from Amazon for nearly £100! You may be able to track down my edition in a charity shop in Chorley much more cheaply.

Creative Bicycle design and Framebuilding.

This is a self published book printed by Amazon from another Framebuilder from the USA. I admit to being rather disappointed with my learning experience from reading it, but it is easy to read and gives a lot of sensible, if rather philosophical, advice on the ethics of frame building. It takes a common sense approach and includes black and white photographs of some of the methods and stages of the building process. The author is reassuring in his assertion that no one method of manufacture should be taken as gospel but his preferred methods seem to follow a lot of the teaching from the Paterek manual and often in less detail. He openly states he has made a lot of fixtures from the Paterek plans and uses similar methods including building with reference to full size drawings. Whilst a frame jig is used in some of the process there is little reference to using full jigs, rather concentrating in a more piecemeal approach in fixtures and using a truing table. He also makes extensive use of a milling machine and other machine tools reflecting his own commercial practice. For someone just starting out it will be a reassuring read but it is a long way off being an instructive frame building manual or text book and does not really update the Paterek manual for the UK frame builder.
