    Your perseverence is legendary. Doing feathers is the most frustrating type of casting I've tried to date, without much success. At least if my pet Dodo dies, I know who to come to for answers. Great job.

    Hey dai sensei I tried some moth wings and OMG they are fragile as got the first one ok but the second one was a pain but when I get some more I will try it again. As for the feathers I am waiting for mine to show up and then I will get stuck into those to do you use a pressure pot Ian
