That's the nicest Ellie I've ever seen, Tony. Quite like the way you've made the brackets and irons, too - much better than soldering individually.

Really interested in the way you've made the lamp irons Tony. I must have a go at that! The result looks excellent. Once you'd cut it from the main piece, did you just file it down to size?

Hi Simon,

No, as with parting off, with hand turning you keep cutting until the work piece falls off leaving a small dimple which one or two strokes with a file is removed.

Have a Great and healthy 2022. Catch up some time.

Take care G&T.
