Cheers davyro, do stay tuned.
Thanks Wai, this isn't the only custom torch i've got in the pipeline either, check my brass torch thread on MT.O
I must admit that the text on the head is just me being frivolous, without it the head would look cleaner.
The knurling or whatever it's called is there so that the head can be opened or more importantly closed tightly, as the double o-rings make things quite stiff, without requiring a vice and perhaps while wearing gloves.
I don't think it looks too busy compared to some of the heavily finned heads i've seen, perhaps the pictures don't help.
Well i'm sure you'll get a chance to see it for real at the next London meet and see what you think then.
