Buy some cheap standard lugs from ceeway and get some good needle files, a sharpie and a small metal saw (dunno what the English name is). I bet you will be entertained for hours designing your own. There's loads of info and inspiration online.

A piercing saw is probably what's needed, although there probably aren't enough long cuts involved in making filigree lugs to make it worthwhile over just drilling and filing.

As fun as this sounds (genuinely) I think I'm the kind of person that would burn through waaaaay too much time dithering around with all the different options. And I probably wouldn't come up with anything as pretty as the Nervex design.
That said, I don't particularly like the Nervex seat lug (or at least the bolt hole) and the ebay set doesn't come with a bottom bracket shell or fork crown, so I'll have plenty of opportunity for dithering with options anyway.
I quite like the fork crown from a Bob Jackson Vulcan:
mmmmmmm, pointless ornamentation! ; )

Cheers all.... there was a set of NOS Nervex on ebay for an okay(ish) price but before I pulled the trigger I was wondering if it might be a cheeky shortcut to get a donor frame instead. Always had a thing for Nervex Pro but could never find a frame in my size that matched my (very specific) requirements.
So yeah... I just bought the lugs.
Not that I have any immediate plans to make a frame out them, but it's good to know I have them ready for when I need them!
