Hi,

The remit was to make a jig to drill the holes for the brass bushes in the plastic pipe.  Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of time to get materials so the jig was made from what was in stock, it is a bit RE8 but works.  I believe the delivery date for the complete unit is later this month and another 30+ modified plastic pipes are needed.  To this end tomorrow I have to take the finished jig and the four modified plastic pipes to foreign lands  well England; where I might see them put to use.

Hmmm, seems familiar at the end but I will save my answer for after the reveal, so I can say, "that's exactly what I thought it was"
