What a trouble maker...

I love that, despite all the techy stuff these kids have access to, or how much more mature each generation gets earlier in their precious youth, when they come over, this is a top request when they're playing my yard. "Can we dig for worms?" Sure, knock yourselves out.
Unearthed yesterday while I was digging in the yard! He was about an inch and a half long and quite beautiful. He was clinging to the tip of my hand digging tool.
I'm not sure what these people are doing, but they were digging I'm assuming for shoes, flip flops or whatever. Looked like an interesting scene that needed to be captured.
I talked with my auntie about these people...she told me they are illegal street vendors. So when the cops come, they grab as much as they can and run. Explains the temporary pack ability of their goods...

Taken on 15th Sept 2023 of Deacon Blue using their Greatest Hits UK & Ireland 2023 tour “All The Old 45s.”
Thirty-five years since their debut single, Dignity, and millions of record sales since, Deacon Blue are digging out all their old 45s - the Top 10s, the favourites, the sing-a-long rarities - and touring the UK & Ireland in September / October 2023. The band have always thrived onstage, but they’ve never played gigs quite like this: they’ll perform two sets, with no support. The first half will be an intimate acoustic show, and then they’ll go electric for a raucous trip across their hits.
Vocalist and songwriter Ricky Ross is raring to go on this celebration of Deacon Blue’s brilliant and loyal fans, roaring the Caledonian gospel from the South Coast to the Uplands. “We’ve decided to play a Greatest Hits show with a difference,” he says. “Yes, we intend to play all (or nearly all) the old 45s, but we also want the first half of the evening to be an intimate acoustic performance, the band gathered round the piano with acoustic guitars and whatever Dougie decides to hit. We’ll play some album tracks and reinterpret a few favourites from the back catalogue. We’ll take a short break then come back and make a lot of noise. We hope you can be part of that noise.”
Kicking off in the birthplace of pop (as Ross’s recent memoir attests, everything comes back to The Beatles), the tour will launch in Liverpool - which has long held a special place in the band’s collective heart - before travelling the length of the land. Ross, co-vocalist Lorraine McIntosh, Dougie Vipond (drums), Jim Prime (keyboards), Gregor Philp (guitar) and Lewis Gordon (bass) will breathe new life into well-loved songs like Dignity, Loaded, Wages Day, Real Gone Kid, I’ll Never Fall In Love Again, Your Swaying Arms, Twist & Shout, Your Town, The Hipsters and City Of Love. And so many more.

After digging around the shed earlier this afternoon, we have uncovered a mystery jig that we had almost forgotten about!
Quang had designed and machined a chain stay jig for use with our main jig plate, so this separate contraption became obsolete.
The main issue is: we don't know how to use it.
First, let's look through the parts.
It is an elevated base with three main sections:
1. A platform for the bottom bracket shell to rest on. Its height is adjustable with two screws. Presumably, this is to position the chain stays to have a good interface with the shell's ports. It would perhaps make sense also that this can dictate bottom bracket drop.
2. Two swiveling chain stay holders. Each holder is two parallel plates on a pivoting base attached by some nuts and bolts, and the chain stay sits between the nut on the inner face of the plate and the opposite plate. Furthermore, the chain stays are held down by a length of metal that has its height adjusted by a spring-loaded wingnut to evenly clamp the stays.The height of the holders is fixed. Because the angle of the chain stay holders is adjustable, this means the angle that the chain stay entering the bottom bracket shell can be altered to increase clearance for larger tires.
3. A dummy axle. The dummy axle holds the dropouts in place. The axle has indexing Ds to align the pair of dropouts, and by extension, the chain stays. This axle also rotates, enabling the use of both horizontal and vertical dropouts. The one currently fitted is 130mm wide, i.e. for modern road spacing, but its possible there is a 120 and 126mm axle lying in a box somewhere.
OK, so that is the overview of the jig. Now, the problems we have with trying to understand it, relative to each part of the jig. We have tried fitting some chain stay offcuts and a BB shell from a mini frame onto the jig to demonstrate.
1. The BB shell rests on the platform just fine. Adjusting the height and ensuring the platform is level is also not too much of an issue. Once everything is fitted into the ports, it can only be assumed the shell will be centered on the platform. No problems here.
2. The holders is the area we are having most of the difficulty understanding. With the dropouts fitted in the dummy axle and to the chain stays, the angle of the chain stay holders extend the stays towards the BB shell in such a way that they will not enter the port.
3. Vice versa, if the chain stays are fitted into the BB ports, the dropouts at the opposite end of the stays will not sit on the dummy axle.
We have tried fitting a fully built frame onto this jig and experience the same issues.
If anyone has any idea in how this jig works, please get in touch.
The best part about crate digging is the raw elation you feel after finding that one record after hours of searching. The constant hunt brings you closer and closer to the sounds that are waiting to serenade your senses. During this trip I had the great luck of finding the "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" single by Daft Punk.
