The handle has now been scotched smooth and refinished. The block holes have been bored out to 12mm (previously worn out 10mm) to fit arms that have 10mm ferrule, as 2mm seems about the right amount of play.
New mesh has been ordered and it'll be back in use next time out👍

I might polish the block yet, and should probably repaint the collar black, but I am ok with it as it is.

The arms were given to me, and the lad had had them for years, so I don't know I'm afraid. They have curved ends that the chord attaches to is that helps!

When I say bored out, that's a fancy way of saying I drilled them myself with a hand drill and 12mm bit. A bench vice helped though

The mesh is a free spirit one
