I was meant to go to the London jam today but was not feeling too good so thought it better to stay at home in case I got worse, when I go to these events I normally have a list of things to try, I had three things down this time and one was a tennis racket. Now the way I had intended in my mind did not work for me so Lyn came up with a suggestion and here it is.

And the final version for now? Well I was thinking of making the handle all black, as it took so long to build I'd better go and change it now rather than make another for another day.
The stringing took a while to complete.

That is brilliant. Certainly beats the attempt I once made.

If you do a search on here Stuart you will see my attempt a few years back  :oops:
This was version two with a suggestion from Lyn, my way did not work but I was trying to double stuff and distort, will chat with Thelma and explain.
Perhaps Thelma can work my original idea out.
