Right,

I’ve worked out a trick, but its hard. I can get the links joined by pushing the brass rod though with the link still attached to the P/E fret, and I then push the brass tube over the rod, and cut. But I need to this do for like 150 odd cuts.. No joking, and getting 150 cuts for the tube at dead 1m is beyond human I feel.

I need to make some type of jig, or template. But, darned if I can work this out… I’ve spent hours tonight trying to work this out, I feel this is “PRO” P/E work, but is there no tool or anyone who’s built something to help cut dead on 1m for the center tube?

The rod is OK, as I can just nip this off and I’ve noticed that nipping it off flares the end, and this holds the link, so no gluing required, this can be built without glue if done right.

Also, due to messing about, I think I’ve buggered a few to many links, dunno, but I had a few flinging around the room, plus I’ve been messing about with the brass rod.

Hmm… Darn my “always” wanting to try new stuff out.. LOL
