Hi Flaggy, that would be great, I take it you can weld then! I seem to be struggling at the moment, but I'm sure I will get the hang of it.

My plan was to cut the metal and weld it rather than trying to bend it, how did you make yours??

Already on £113, I can't help thinking making one should be cheaper, I can't afford that kind of money at the moment!!
