When your hot , your hot.

Spent more time today and got 1 1/2 more lugs pretty much done. It's interesting how this stuff goes. Periods of focus and productive rush and long moments of pause. Soon a pause will happen. I will be getting my walking boot of and the medical immobilization will end, for now (1 week after New Years I repeat surgery on the other foot). The holidays are on us and I need to drive a couple of frames to paint. Just as I am getting my builder's hand/arms built up too...

As I file/grind away I see the forms get defined. I will need to revisit some corners and curves a bit to better make all the details be part of the same story. But so far things are pretty close. I'm getting better at watching how far I hack saw and grind before I file. I think it was in my Flicker album that I mentioned how much more difficult this all would be without a lug vice, or two. A few other tools really help too. I'll post about this later.

The seat lug was done yesterday. Today the lower head lug and part of the upper was done.

I think the real challenges will be with the BB shell and crown. Both are production units and to mimic the lugs' styling some mods will be needed to cut outs and shore lines. That will be the next installment of merit. After that I'll close this down for the actual frame work. I have more firsts there too to look forward to and share. Andy
