faux lugs
basically what i want to do is take a frame without any lugs, and add my own lugs purely for aestetics.
heres the basic process i invisage:
cut the lugs flat from say 2mm steel/alu sheet in the pattern i desire
roll the flat shapes into curves
place on frame
attach to frame
fill gaps between the rolled sections
file/sand smooth
job done
what would be the best way to attach the lugs to the frame?
seeing as the lugs are just for looks, does it matter that i use aluminium? aluminium is just easier to work.
what should i use to fill the gaps?
any other tips/advice?
sorry for noob questions, im pretty new to all this stuff.
