Hi John Thanks for you comments I have had this a few years and no one has ever shown any interest in purchasing it,I first saw Jimmy Clewes turn one of these I liked it so I turned 3. Maybe I will get round to posting them one day.Regards John

Hello John
I also remember Jimmy Clewes doing one of these and I tried my hand as well. I think yours is a great example and it surprises me that it has;t been snapped up.
Cheers Dave
