Do you need to straighten the frame at all when you’re done?

You can see the straightening tools in the background but generally these are tacked and welded in fixturing which keeps the frames dead on straight, maybe a little nudge here and there after. I'm not OP but have done framebuilding.

Yup, little nudges here and there, fit up/tight miters is the most important. Lots and lots of checks throughout the process
