Here's the stainless lugs tacked up and ready to remove from the fixture.
I kinda rigged up the fixture with the bar off my alignment plate. This way I can set the whole frame up at once and be done. Talked to Don at Anvil, he said the new fixture should be shipping this week.
Lisa wasn't home when I brazed this one so I don't have any pictures with fire in them, but here's some from when the smoke cleared.

Pretty clean, not too much charred flux.
Finally, after some quality time with the file and emery.
The head tube, would look a little nicer if I had a sandblaster to knock down the flashing, but once it's polished and painted you'll never know.

Stainless Lugged Singlespeed

The seat lug begins with some 1/8" holes to perforate the area to be removed.

Moving around the lug, more large chunks of metal to remove. You'll see on some of the lugs, I started with a design roughly drawn on the lugs, but I deviated on some of them. Chalk it up to inspiration.

The pictures on the left are post braze, pre-finish and the ones on the right are finished ready to paint.
The lower head lug, I included another picture later with the STI guides brazed on.

That's EC (Ellis Cycles) 08, for 2008 and frame #001. Also a cool shot of the dropouts.

Finally, the head tube is faced and the STI guides brazed on.
