Thanks McCreed, more a case of trying something I haven't done before and hoping it doesn't end up in the bin in a fit of rage.
Thanks robin, do admire your use of hand tools for your builds and it's disappointing to hear your string thru hasn't gone well.
As to my last comment about feeling less bad about where the build is at, this is before the binding was cleaned up
Scary stuff,was very unhappy/underwhelmed at this point. Blunder on.
