That looks very nice.
I have a question relating to cutaways. I'm not into them myself, preferring complete rounds but do you look for a damaged example to cut? It seems a shame to cut a good fuze.
That's not a criticism as the quality of your work is excellent and I can see the attraction of the finished item, just an idle thought really!

If an item is rare and not to many about I will not cut it, I have fuzes in my collection that I would never cut as I'd probably never get another. This was a perfectly good fuze but there are many of these about. Damaged items are great as you say for cutaways when they come along.

I'm in need of an early one if you have a spare!
