thanks in advance

If you can give to the end of the week I'll get a ism technique guide done on PE, myself and lee were talking about me doing one a few weeks back. I'll cover the hold and fold tool, pe bending pliers, placing tools and glues :th:

I look forward to the instruction vid too, won an etch bending tool in past week and am now beginning to wonder how I managed to get by without it, even on the limited etch bending I've done so far!

Even standards kits come with etch now so these tools really are becoming mandatory.
