Jim,
I second Ron's advice - burnishing tool (antyhing smooth and round will do) is the way to go.

Ahh! I think I see what Simon was looking at. I think he picked up on my Oops where I did an overlap instead of a butt joint. Now I understand were we are. So I am already doing butt joints, cool. :D

Cheers
Jim

You are welcome mate - If my memory serves me well {it doesn't very often } but i think this is one of our good friend Phil {Gixergs} favourites too... he will most certainly put me right either way :D

A very big thank you too mate for providing this model free of charge. My apologies for not giving you credit earlier. Sorry about that. Many thanks indeed.

Cheers

Jim,
No apologies needed or deserved.
All the credit goes to Rafal Ciesielski. All I did was to provide a little bit of server space.

i have had this one stashed away for awhile now, also too scared to attempt it till recently. but one thing ive learned is youll never advance your skill unless you push yourself to the next level. ill be watching with interest. looks like well designed kit.
