Hi Don,

>Would you care to elaborate?  Remember, I know nothing about this other than what I can read on that guy's site.  I guess I'm looking for ~63mm height?  What part are you talking about soldering?  The seam?  And what do you use for the center stand?  A 3" or 4" endcap if such a beast is made?
