Thanks Ron,


That's a pretty neat program. Blade shape ends up looking a lot like one I did off Hugh's calculations.

ah, thanks there ron for the link....although we canadians don't have a secret decoder ring, we were allowed entry to all the american parties because we have canadian beer and canadian girls, both were highly regarded by our american brothers...as they told me down south one time "you all come back now ya here, and if you'all caint come back, you send your sister" :D as always in good spirit pickster
