The art of joining the lugs into a final frame would be nice to see but I sure the builders are there for relaxation not work. They might even enjoy looking at each others work in the raw.

Actually variations of all that have been part of the Cirque for some years! I think past attendees can attest that almost every variation of lug has been on display! Just off the top of my head, I think back to Brian's frame building demo where he actually brazed and filed... Richard Sachs had a his amazing collection of lugs from all eras, plus he premiered his new lugs at the Cirque, Kirk Pacenti first showed his in public at the Cirque and then had variations on display last year.. etc., etc., etc! What fun this year holds is yet to be discovered! Ya'll come now, hear?
