hyperion 122 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 make your own! get a milbro or one of the coppies and draw round it on a good lump of timber or some 25mm ply then cut it out with a jigsaw or a coping saw! cheers Hyperion Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It makes a mess but it's very accurate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
