My take on a Tricone - uses three Alloy hand spun 4" cones with a Cast alloy T-Bridge - lost more details to add to the description but i'll do that when i complete the album with lots more pics
still got to make the nut and Bridge insert so i can string her up

Thank you Delvero for your kind words you also do some fine work bro - your like me you like to push just to see how far you can push yourself  .. "if you never try you'll never know "  "better to try and fail to have never tried at all"  these are things i tell myself and they seem to help ... well most of the time  :)
