    It won't be a martini knowing akaroa, the tipping block is not his favourite action.

    Those photos are like peering through a steamy window at a sexy damsel, just enough detail to excite you. I'm tempted to start a "get akaroa a decent camera give a little page"

    1220x2400 sheet will give you a folded safe 400x400 by whatever tall you need. It's really easy to do hinges and frame, I can give you a drawing for it. Also, don't bother with tig for this job mig...

    7/32-40 ME taps may be the jobby. Available in a couple of places in NZ but pricey at ~ 38 bucks.
