Will post a further info & a few pics a bit later.

Further to the above, made a few new one’s this afternoon and found some No 14 miniatures, these are getting harder & harder to make when you’re wearing progressive lenses and still can’t see.
All we need now is some decent ice, otherwise the float tube comes out of storage.
Some pics …. enjoy.

Tip:
If your just getting started making your own, have a close look at this pic with the forceps & long needle nose pliers, I use the pliers to tighten the twist and if there’s gaps between the wraps to move them together & tighten them up … I’m sure you’ll figure it out.
