    Hi, Hey Kimjon thanks for your offer, I may at a later date take you up on that, save me going all the way down to the Pureora Forest and I can come self sufficient, could come down in my caravan, and if you are not milking the cows, will bring some homebrews!, can't drink this and still millke thas cooowws!, And Dan88, the receiver is radis on the tang area, so for a clever way of doing this I turned my lathe into a grinding one and set the receiver to turn the required radi . Then fitted my grinding spindle assy with drill as drive , plenty of rags it was under way, but will be a slow job, have to take small cuts with the cross slide as in feed. The pics should give the clever idea, Cheers, Homebrew.357.Name:  P1020225.JPG
