An other day of progress today. I started work on the lower section of the neck. I am after a flair from 100mm at the top out to 250mm<> and then a ball coming back to 150mm at the joint to the pot. All will become clear when I get to it (promise). So like a trumpet with and egg on the end of the bell.
Photos attached for those you care to see the work of a mad man. The Dept of Domestic Affairs was happy to listen of a afternoon of taping copper in the garage
I started by splitting some 100mm pipe and stitching the tapered lengths into a cone.
Stitching marked out at 25mm centres.
You can see the second row of stitching.
The cuts are started on both pieces so they are matching.
Stitching snipped up to the 10mm line
