    Delta in Grape Escape

    I had another go at the Delta, and this time I found away to bring together the two halves without the unsatisfactory contact from before. I flared the ends either side of the centre band. The blank was quite funky, so I think it works ok..... Adie

    Axminster Euro Twist

    To be honest, I'm not too keen on the Euro design with the weightier top and slim body, so I used the kit but made the body the same width as the centre band. I also got to practice a new skill of cutting in a shoulder for the centre band to slip over. Over all, I must admit, I'm quite happy...
