I'd like to design, file & fret lugs not because I think I'll be any good at it but to acquire a hands-on perspective and appreciation of the craft. First step is the basics of becoming familiar with materials and tools.

What is the compostion of lugs and what would be good "slugs" upon which to practice and develop a sympathy for the material?

What type of files and other tools? I assume assortment of Swiss files but, any exceptional I should have?

Thanks Richard Cielec Chicago, Illinois
