And I need to know if there is a good how to anywhere on the net for this? I have seen many different versions but if any of you know what would be the best way to go about building a universal frame jig or where I can find out how to, please let me know. Thanks.

Do you mean like build a frame table to build a new frame on?

You can build a table like that, with adjustable legs so you can level it each way. Crossmembers could be put wherever they work for you and the frame your building. Idk if it helps or not but Ive got a bunch of pictures Ive been collecting of frame builds, tables n such if you want to see in here:

no, i didn't say it was impossible, nor would it stop someone, did i? having personal experience with building frames on tables, i'm saying its nice to be able to get inside to do some work too.

I love my table Sometimes I wish I could stand inside the frame rails but I just do the majority of the metal finishing with it on saw horses. That table is such a pain to move around I think the top 1/2 plate weighs 800lbs or so.
