Kings of ornate lugwork

[dannyg1]

I'm trying to describe for a friend, the incredible things that can be done with lugs by builders with a love for that. I know of some of the most infamous fancy lug people, many of them maybe reading this. Id like to put a more complete list together. If you all wouldn't mind helping, I'd appreciate it.

Here' the list as it stands now, but I know I'm missing the better part of it:

Just remembered Ephgrave too. How could I forget llewellyn? I can't spell his name, that's why....

Sacha White, my Vanilla lugs are beautiful.

Darrell McCulloch is "Dazza." You should add Richard Sachs and Sacha White/Vanilla (oops, znfdl beat me to it).

You should have your friend buy this book:

Kent Erickson builds a great bike and is a maestro with the tig but I've never seen him build with lugs.
