First post for the year. Its been a while so, a little update is due. What I have been doing has taken its time and I kept doing it in little bits over Christmas. I have been addressing the heads and the need to cut the cone shape a bit deeper into them because they have been fly cut before. This is...

Hope you have a lovely time.

Karl

Karl
