Now I find out all that is unnecessary, or not as necessary as I'd been led to believe. But as you've given this design the seal of approval then I guess I'll just try and make mine more like this one, only smaller.

Joe It's not really fair to hi-jack Nordics thread so let's do it on yours or start another asking this question if you want some guidance and I'll gladly come along and explain the differences etc.
