Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"? ... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Thanks Graham, having someone that works making jewelry I now know what they are that you use for hooks!!!!!:d/ :d/  May I say it is a very good idea. I also use "jump rings" and bend them into a hook shape with small jeweler's pliers, I will have to "forge" a few of the kind you have and do some "test" studies with them. I also have the formula memorized for the weight that I can lift, may have to recheck my figures with the "new" hooks, LMAO!!!!!! 
Dain I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!! Age is a state of time NOT a state of mind!!
