Mike, In reference to your post #35.
The magnet test might surprise you. I believe a magnet sticks to Ali-bronze.

Phillip this is how mine is. 1/16" mild steel plate folded with a slight radius corner to form a 1" x 1/2" angle which are welded at the corners. The outside measurements are 10 1/2" long x 8 9/16" wide. The pictures should help see the cut outs for the leather strap.

I have seen the Blandford British 11 set which is one of only two I've ever seen in about 15 years or more. The musem is only 15-17 miles from me. So if no succes I can go and take pictures. I know the curator Adam Forty quite well, but whether he'd let me inside the glass case?????? Ron

There's a lot of work in making the 11 frame. It needs to be able to change position depending on fit and the pressed holes still all line up and keep the frame square. There's rivets, press tools, folding, machining and welding. 15 separate parts for one frame from memory.

Ron - Thanks thats a great help, I'll be able to have the angle pressed and will have a go at making up the top frame.

My frame is rusty so I have always assumed that it is steel.
