I won't quote Brians message, but I just wanted to add a little encouragement. I saw the demo Brian did on lug filing at Dale's shop a couple years ago, and It was very interesting. As someone who wants to build a frame eventually, it was great to see how someone with lots of experience does it. I've brazed hydraulic tube assemblies, and someday I'd like to see how guys like Brian and Richard Sachs get the braze so neat. I'd say if you can make it to this event, it should be well worth the trip.
