lugged track fork build
so iv got a oxy cutting torch and some welding skills. was looking to get into frame building and was thinking that a lugged track fork would be a good start. i should be able to buy everything i need from web sites right? iv taken a jewelry class n am pretty good with a saw so i want to cut the lugs up all fancy like. any tips or words of incouragment. whats the best supplier n simplest way to do this?

I've got the same bug and was just looking at https://www.novacycles.com/
I'm thinking of a touring bike to start.
Right now I'm torching on old frames for practice.

Do some practice brazing beforehand too!
