Earlier today I thought i'd have a question for the more experienced builders concerning how to change a lug's angles beyond what simple bending could do. But as I went along I was able to bend things far enough and keep the shore lines tight. Or at least that's what it looks like before the actual brazing.

Details are, the top head lug from 74* to 77.5* and the St lug from 74* to 80.5*. I did the initial bending using the bending bars from Omar Khiel, tap hammer, crescent wrench and needle nose pliars. Next is doing some simple lug shape mods. After I miter up the tubes I'll fit the lug's ID and revisit their fit. As the fit gets looser with ID working the latitude for angle matching up will grow.

As i worked at this today i had two conflicting thoughts. First was wanting to make my own lugs from tubes for the first time. Second was the "just fillet it" that will likely be what i do for the next projects.

The other two big challenges with this frame is that I am trying to match an asthetic of a pervious frame and fit a wife I have not built for yet... Andy.
