Fashioned from a 22mm copper pipe off cut with a semi circular file and a dremel. Took about an hour and I am chuffed! Will paint it matt silver when I get some time.

Fabulous . . . it would take me at least 3 years and a following wind to even buy the copper piping. Let alone doing anything remotely technical Macca.

Experimenting with 22mm olives. Less work required to convert those I think. Will try to do something this evening. Came across a stash of 22mm pipe and fittings waiting to be scrapped, at work yesterday.

Don't forget to give it a coat of Renaissance Wax or clear lacquer to stop it tarnishing.

Knocked this one up from a 22mm brass olive: Still some finishing to do. These are easier to convert but are very flimsy.
