I now need to finish the inner tower and shorten the bows, the drawing shows a longer bow, but as the rear one is used it's too far back and it's fouling the overhead in places. Strangely it runs better weight first, so will blacken the brass weight and fit a driver to hide it a bit.

Strange, doesn't seem to want to embed the youtube videos, anyone know why? Edit, now it's working!
