Sorry for taking a few days to reply - pc troubles as usual.. That's exactly what I have in mind although my one is the same principle but has a lot less travel.

Thanks for the tip. When you said "the further apart they are" it struck me what the problem is - the tracks are not long enough so in effect the two pins cannot move far enough apart - thus I cannot make a longer oval. Back to the drawing board.....

Thank you very much for all the suggestions. I shall have to work my way through the list till I find one that I am happy with. Thanks again

Hello I am new to the forum but would appreciate a spot of advice please. Is there such a thing as an exterior grade glue that will stick hardwoods such as oak & teak. Have tried several so far but none seem to hold. Any suggestions -
