Hi Mike

You mentioned that you used 08mm electric cable or the rope, is that a standard cable available from DIY shops? I found some 1mm bu wondered if it would be too thick.

Hi John, if you are having difficulty obtaining the correct size, you can buy 0.8mm copper wire from Hobbycraft in the jewelry section I hope that helps. BigGrin

in my opinion 1mm is too thick Kind regards Mike
