[SEL] Pattern #2

[Curt]

Rupert,
I've never seen these 1/2 round shapes you speak of. Sounds like they 
could sure save a lot of work! Where do you find these?
The three diameters on this small part are .884, .808, and 1.051. They 
are odd numbers but they account for shrinkage so that when cooled come 
back to standard British dimensions. I imagine the 1/2 rounds could be 
cut long and spot glued at the ends, turned to the needed diameter, and 
the glued area cut off to give perfect halves.
Are these 1/2 rounds available in much larger diameters, such as 2 or 3" 
diameter?
