Here's another of my dodgy sketches !!




Is that what you was thinking Les ?

The lower former could make use of an old woodruff key, inverted & tacked into place .
Or a profiled piece of hardened steel.

The upper former could be made with a small round file or ground out. A tad oversize to the lower former to allow for material thickness ( A couple of mm's should do the trick )

I really must learn to use the Autocad or Solid Edge software I have installed on this PC ....... I havn't got the faintest idea

thats the fellow Ronnie
i reckon thats almost marketable
perhaps you should put a patent on it.............
or make me one to test for when my wonky leg is better lol
cheers les g
