That's fabulous !

I assume wood chisels for the Ali then?

Shame the wood is so dear cos I'd love a bash at that timber, so effective with the contrast.

That's brilliant Woody.

What do you polish the ali with and how do you stop it oxidising?

Woody, your woodworking skills are second to none but I'm not sure about the metallic addition.
