Progress, again
Now Playing: Murphy's Law - Stone Cold Soul
Saturday night we got a pretty good snow here so I spent most of Sunday holed up in the garage and managed to get the front triangle finished.

Major observations-

It's been a while since I've done lugs. For the first couple of them I ran into that zen "Finger pointing at the moon thing" where I was paying too much atttention to the silver rod and not enough to my heat application and I toasted a bit more flux than I would have liked. But eventually I got to the point where I was getting almost no charring at all.

My hand-cut lugs, though they seemed to be at the right angles, weren't quite accurate enough so I ended up doing a little cold setting to make everything fit. Which somehow it did. Since I don't have a fancy jig I was pretty amazed to see the whole thing come together at the right lengths and angles.

So now I just have to do the stays, which will be a piece of cake compared to all the filing and cutting I've done so far.
