Early on when he got here he had Rivendell that needed a couple of new tubes. The customer insisted on using the lugs again, Bob milled out the old lugs so they could be used again without being overheated from torching it apart. I had never seen that before, very impressive to me.
That is impressive. Just holding a lug to ream out an old brazed tube takes a lot of force and lugs are fairly pliable.
