You are differently on track with this Q&A to building a bike or any part of the project. I can't begin to tell you how much I screwed up or done over and over till I got it figured out. But that was also 30 yrs ago or more things have come a long way just in the last few yrs. Good luck with this endeavor. My advice to anyone building a frame is read everything you can about doing it and be good at welding so it will last the long haul. I've seen a few crack and break while riding after it was finished so don't get in over your head.
