Nice vid Ian, nice an clear for an old fart like me t' follow.

Will defo give this ago, it seems that I have everything I need in t' house t' make what I want. If you're using pewter is it similar to lead free solder, ie. mainly tin?

Power t' North mate :-)

Why does your rolling pin look like a Cock? and what's with the 80's wristwatch. you could turn off the video and listen only to the sound and it sounds like a gay porno. Holy Shit!!! Why didn't ya just carve it out of a solid piece...?
