My first brazed lug! I bit more brass than I probably needed so the cleanup was a bit much. I do think that the penetration of the joint was good though. I did some cold setting on it and it did not flinch. Overall I am pleased with the newbie attempt.

Henry James sells "scrap" lugs for practice.
I'm getting back at frame building after 10+ years out of the game...
I'm looking for a used Henry James classic jig...where did you got yours?
Found it used in PA. Was at the right place at the right time. Builder up there was buying Anvil jig to replace his HJ.
