I've been working on my first slip joint, which happens to be my own design. Even though I'm not finished, I have already learned quite a bit about what not to do next time:what!: I'm hoping to finish this one up in the next week or two. After that, I'd like to start another based on a classic pattern. I don't have any classics to take apart though to get a pattern. Sure, I could sketch something up based on what I've learned from my first, but I'd rather work with an established pattern for the next one. Anyone have some patterns that they'd be willing to share?
