Thanks again :2tsup: Now that's getting close but the stem need to connect too and without the means to do it any other way I thought I'd be able to jam a metal bell thing up hard against the sepal/petal body, as in:
Attachment 214141
Dunno, maybe I just make 'the bell shape in wood, drill a hole for the stem to pass through and glue it all up :?

How about grease nipples?

Achully, that's why I'm so impressed with AndyMacs' skills although I don't think he's a spinny guy but he can bash the daylights out of metal to make something of it, I always wanted farm skills :C

Bent the petals here that wore some more paint off ready for the rusting, got to pack it up now, see youAttachment 214677

I do know a metal spinny guy. Will try and track down his number. Or you could see if the guys at Sovereign Hill will do it? :D

Thanks heaps tl. Hard to connect with anything after 60hr+ weeks on the trot (now troty stagger :D)for however long it's been, I need to be somewhere else but I don't know the way out at the moski, catch 22, hope spinny guy can uderstand the thing I can see to make through intermitent Swahili :-

I eventually decided to jam the petal cluster down on the peened head of fence wire by hammering the wire through the cluster while its bottom was bedded into a metal socket with a leather seat.

Next comes the sepals before their all fixed on with some customised tinny bells I found at Spotlight, yeah Spotlight :-

I once made the mistake of confiding to a work colleague that I had a VIP card for Spotlight. He pointed out that if he had been me he probably wouldn't have chosen to mention that:-. However, in the next breath he said he had a trade card at Total Tools. He conceded a rebuff when I asked him if that made him a "Total Tool." :wink:
