The hardest bit is bending the bugger into shape.....too big for my home made bender so i had to resort to neanderthal methods.....

Out came the hammers, clamps and earmuffs....

two hours later and this is how far i have got...but i will be back in there tomorrow hopefully..

Going to get my masons chisel and hopefully tighten the bend and possibly it needs shrinking where i have hammered it too much and caused ripples.

A bit of TIG and hopefully a nice new(ish) water table......will post updates as i go along.
