Well, after playing with articulation for the better part of a year, I finally figured it out with a lot of assistance from His Grace, Duke James. He was very nice in coming over to my shop to show me how to do the articulation on a set of elbows that I have been messing with lately.

Matched pair.

I will be dissasembling these this weekend, doing some minor correctional dishing and then doing a high polish. More pictures to follow when I am done.

This may not seem like much, but it was a battle hard fought.

Note: I edited this to add the pictures of the stainless arms. I will add more with I am finished.

Don't ya just love it when a master shows you the light.....

After A-Bob showed me how to roll an edge.... it's a snap.
I just wish I could remember that reverse roll with the flute.

Ps: Thanks for the pic.

Next time you see HG, tell him Edward of Effingham sez "Hi."

James is a tremendously cool guy of whom I am very fond, though I haven't seen him for like -- ten years.
