I knew tubes could be CNC laser cut, but I didn't know it was like this! Found this gem while at work. What this machine does in 1 second could easily take 5-15 minutes by hand, depending on joint complexity.
Feel free to get up and dance if the music really inspires you.
On a related note, if you aren't using the "weldments" feature in Solidworks to design your frame... you seriously should. It saves so much time and file space its unbelievable.

Nice, it'll save you a lot of time, that's for sure.
Although, keep in my mind that most laser cutters cut normal to the surface, where as with a properly notched tube you'll actually want the notch somewhat angled. Expect to do some filing/grinding ;)
Cheers, Pete.
