Thanks Bennie I really appreciate it and I'll gladly pay for them. 10 or 15 mm will be great.

I've been having a blast on my lathe and I'm investing in spray guns this month to start with the finishing touches and the eyes will be a huge help.

I'll pm my postal address to you

I have a question for you though your finishing twists in the stainless wire are really neat do you have a jig you are using or are they done by hand?

No problem!

I do the twists by hand! Will gladly show you how!

Hi Bennie,

Do have a look at the halographic paper you get in the shops. You get some you can peel and stick. I used to have a reel that looks like fish scales, but that disappeared :-( and am now using another motive.

If you don't know what halographic paper is, it's the plastic paper that glitter so extremely and if you turn it in the light the glitter angle and some colours change.

This glittering and changing glitter colours drives fish crazy, the silver especially works un be lievably well.

If any of you by change come across a reel of the fish scale holographic paper, please get it for me. I'll take 2 reels.

If you do something similar with the halographic paper you did with those eyes Benny, maybe a stripe along the side, I bet you will see a better strike rate.

Those eyes looks great !

Thanks one of your tutorials will do the job nicely in that regard each on you you've done has saved me spans of R&D
