Haha, well, in the absence of anything else, and breaking all of Mr Morita's rules, let's stick our neck out in order to collect ideas! :glee:

Hi All, Been home all week sick and beat my head against the wall for days and could not even get a repetition of two or three that made sense. Now seeing what you all came up with, could have spent another week and still come up different. :laughing:  Will post some pictures of blade later for all your help. Came back with a veterans estate I had bought a while back. Best Regards, John
