        And carrying on now the new lead cames have been delivered :)

        When they arrive, you have to put them in a lead vice and stretch them to remove kinks and straighten them up.

              Made me think of something else.

              Same with that one.

              P.S. That design is used as a fascist symbol.

                              Not sure what colour to stain the surrounds, was thinking red or yellow :noidea:
