Bibio did do some, but may have sold out.

Yeah i saw that thread, as you say, a long time ago. Ti playe is pretty cheap, might just by a sheet and get a load milled up.

That looks great so far, one question though, who is that gorgeous little soul in the first photo?

Cats & bikes are the best things in life. This is my Jasper posing with my half finished Sylvie.

Fair play, I'd probably have just splashed out a couple of quid and had them blasted and anodised or powder coated just to save my fingers

Looking good so far though.

i have the blanks sitting here but i need to countersink them so they fit properly (they are handed), not an easy task i can assure you. i suppose if you had a milling machine it would be easy but with it being stainless steel it eats bits so you have to buy expensive ones which it still eats but not as quick.

alas i dont have the time at the moment.
