Hello All,
Thank you for the very encouraging remarks re. Keith Hilton's cane net.

Here's a picture of the handover earlier today in Keith's Hertfordshire cottage.

I think he was pleased with my efforts too.

Regards,

Len.

It's really amazing just what a person can do with their hands, when they turn their mind to it, that spreader block, so simple but so effective, and the screw as a locking mechanism, that's something that has gone in my little book of ideas. Well done, the net on the whole is a real work of art. :Thumb:
