''There is hardly a better way to spend your vacation as an enthusiastic cyclist than a week in Potsdam in the workshop of Big Forest Frameworks,. I had no previous experience in brazing, but the frame turned out beautifully and has been rolling through our forests for 3 years now. Thanks Robert!''

- Daniel Helbig

''An absolutely brilliant experience building my own bike frame with Robert. Friendly, competent and sufficiently reserved so as not to take over all the work. At the end you really have the feeling that you built your own frame completely by yourself. A recommendation for every bike enthusiast''

- Christian Macholdt.

''I built the perfect ATB frame for myself in 5 days at Big Forest Frameworks. With great instructions and support from Robert and Konrad, it worked perfectly. I'm thrilled that I was able to build something unique and that all the details were possible. Fillet brazing is also a lot of fun. Thank you!''

- Klaus Mathwig

Meet Your Instructor

My name is Robert Piontek and I've had a torch in my hand almost every day for the past 12 years, building custom steel bicycle frames and teaching others how to do the same. 

I started with just a cheap €150 torch (that I bought off of eBay), a frame building jig that I made myself that wasn't particularly accurate, a hack saw and a few files. But I managed to build my first frame with what I had at the time, and you can do it, too. Over the years the workshop has grown quite a bit, as well as the tooling, but most of it you don't need at all. Don't get stuck getting started worrying about all the stuff you think you need. You proabably don't need it. Start with the basics and just teach yourself how to fillet braze. The equipment you need is pretty limited, and the experience you gain will motivate you to take the next step towards moving to actually building your own frame.

Now I am living the dream as a professional frame builder. It is a really amazing career where I can be creative, be proud of what I accomplished on any given day, and it brings me joy to work with my hands and see the results with my own eyes.

You can build your own frame, too. And guess what the #1 thing I've learned throughout this entire journey is...?  👉  You don't need fancy gear, a professional frame jig or big machines. The main thing is you need a torch, and the knowledge of how to braze two tubes together. Once you understand the fundamentals, the rest will fall into place. Don't worry about everything else. You just need a space to work, and it can be quite small, a torch, and a couple of files to fit the tubes together. This is the first step! There is plenty to come, but if you worry about everything at the start, you'll never get started. Learn to braze, then learn to build.

But I get it, you probably don't really care about who I am and why I created this platform... Right now, all you care about is CAN I ACTUALLY HELP YOU! Well, since launching Big Forest Frameworks in 2012, over 400 people have enrolled in a frame building course here and the feedback is in... People are blown away at how fast they can learn how to fillet brazed when they learn a proven step-by-step process. I hope you're as excited as I am for you to begin this journey!  I host a weekly Q&A call every single week in our private community, I hope to meet you soon!

Frequently Asked Questions

What skill level is this program for?

You don't need any prior knowledge to get started with this course. We start with the basics, from materials & preparation, braying itself, and to finishing the joint and problem analysis.

How long do I have access to the program & when does it start?

The course will go go live on November 1st. Access to the course is granted for life

Can't I learn all of this on Youtube?

There is plenty of information on how to fillet braze available. However the specific technique we use and recommend is not very common in the bike building industry. We have seen dramatic improvements in the frames built using our new technique from our in-person courses in Germany, and we are sure we can help you as well.

Do I need to have all the gear before starting?

You don't need anything to get started. We will also cover torches and equipment, and provide a list of recommended supplies. You will of course need a space where you can safely opperate your torch.

Should I invest in 5 Day Fillet Brazers before investing in something else frame building related?

Yes. If you want to start building frames, invest in this course first. Once you learn how to braze, the rest of the world of frame building will open to you, and everything will seem so much simpler once you have a handle on the technique of fillet brazing.

Is there a guarantee?

Absolutely! 5 Day Fillet Brazers has a 7-Day Satisfaction Guarantee (after the course starts). If you are not completely SATISFIED and ENLIGHTENED by the 5 Day Fillet Brazers Program, then contact us within 7 Days for a full refund, no questions asked!
