Making a fool of myself!

[Tony Betts]

Well they are not exactly hard to make are they David!
The bend at first glance may seem a little awkward but there is an easy way to form it, that said most special builders probably can't be fagged these days and I am sure that yours are of excellent quality.

Well, looking at the finished version, I certainly would find it very hard to make! The material is quite thick, and it tapers in width and thickness. I would find it extremely difficult to bend that thickness of steel, let alone to the correct curve and twist. I admit that I don't have the necessary heating, bending and machining equipment, just a vice and hand tools, so that doesn't help of

course. But I think that I would also need a fair amount of experience of metal bashing to make something like that.

It must be difficult to guess if they are hard to make or not, when you don't have the tools to do the job yourself. Aren't your stocks of cow horns BOUGHT FROM IAN TILLMAN anyway. The only thing added to them by yourself is inflating the price.
