Hi All,
        Just looked at the "Scott gap" Most impressive. This will get rid of
the problem of arcing at the ends which I have had trouble with in the past.
I was thinking how to make the slots with only a power drill and hacksaw
when it occurred to me that if you put the top and bottom pieces together in
a vice you could drill down between the two and get a reasonably accurate
guide to place the tubes in. I will try this myself unless anyone can see
any  problems I haven't thought of.

cheers
bob golding
