I'm sure i've read somewhere that cutouts/shaping do nothing for the mechanical integrity of the lug and are just for aesthetics. But perhaps that was coming from a builder with boring lugs.
Surely the braze/solder needs to penetrate fully not a few mill' along the edges of the lug. See that dude on here whos bob jackson BB failed because they forgot to braze/solder it and that little fish woman, hippy's mate, who makes her own frames and has a story of a frame that failed that she sawed to bits to learn from her mistakes.
