The idea popped into my head couple years ago and I couldn't shake it off.

Whoa !!! smile I'm not looking to do this on a commercial basis, just show
how it can be done. Believe me, I stood with my angle grinder running
for ages telling myself "not to be a pussy and get on with it!!",
and that's with my own bonnet ! (bought a new one in case I fked it up.)
