Oh yes, and BTW, I did recently have a brief email convo with Mick. He's doing well, and in the mids of relocating back to the UK. I suspect he'll be back in touch once things get settled for him.

I would like to try one of those Petersons myself, if anybody uses then a review would be nice I think it would be helpful to make a Falle adjustable with serations or a bit of hook or thorn that grips when applied. I think there is alot more that can be done with the adjustable to improve on Falles original idea, for example, I wrap mine with sports tape because they tend to cut into the hand a bit (they are really cool though )

i made two diffrent tension tools nether are realy done yet but i could use some epinons. do they look all right should i keep going or shoud i scap them. this on i still have to get off my but and go get some wing nuts and finish shaping and polishing. i'm worried about the strangth of the ends. they got a little discolored when i was grinding them there not as bad as the pic looks most of that is a shadow and i was dipping them in water when i was grinding.

the second is a circular tension wrench. i havent fine tuned any thing yet its two j trap nuts 1 is 1 1/2" and one is 1 1/4" with pieces of a radio antenna holding the blades. i was thinking of three things.
1. fixe the bottom blade so it dont move and put a spring on top between the top bend of the tension wrench and the top of the nut i used.
2. modify the small tubing and put set scews on the top and bottom to hold and ajust the wrenches.
3. its a bad design scrap it.
