Thanks Andries. I made a new bridge for this using a finishing nail so I could stay with the theme.

Yup Clock, that's me for sure!

Thanks AGP,  I knew I'd seen one used before but couldn't remember where. I'm guessing it was yours!

"Well Played Sir", love the sound of this one, after 40 odd years in the construction industry as a bricklayer, I had, and kept a lot of old levels, of which I threw abt a dozen away 12 mths ago, still have few though, have previously built one (AGP #42, a 2 string Diddley Bow type thing) from a Qld Red Cedar level which was owned by my father and possibly his father, and now, will definitely build another!
