Wood! We have lots to do when we come back from Powderham show. 72 English oak pads to drill and fit. To the challenger.
Does anyone know a bolt supplier that can do me a quote for 150 m18 x 90mm high tensile with x2 washers and a nut?
Thanks All

Very pleased with how these flags came out! Traditional sign writing is just an amazing skill set which I do not posses. Looks much more authentic then a sticker π
