Ben and Dan still need to fine tune their photo uploading skills ;) try using photobucket lads much easier to get the pics up

hi all, over the past couple of days i have been machining and pressing the willow. one thing that i have found on very rare occasions when pressing is that on some clefts with red edge on it is sometimes is prone to cracking on the edge put this is very rare.
