Yes, this can be a little confusing, as the way the front frame jig is positioned , its almost like a negative of a photogragh in the way the "brain" tries to see the layout

BUT

If you make your front frame jig, then place FF1 & FF4 into position, then cut both compound angles (26/14 degree,s) on both FF2 & FF3 (opposite handed) then offer each part upto the jig, it,ll make it easier "to see" how each 26degree notch is facing, then once they are both done, bend the tube at the notch point then cut the 14degree cut at the top.

If you get really stuck, i,ll cut FF2 & FF3 for you & post them to you ( not trying to hard sell you anything, just trying to help )

cheers
andy
