Kit arrived today, with card. Hopefully I'll make it tomorrow evening or Saturday (if her indoors don't moan too much).
Otherwise it will be early next week as we are out on Sunday

Dan, timberbits has the tubes for Sedona and Baron2 listed as being the same, but I have just tried the Baron2 tubes and they are too tight, I could force them in, but it will more than likely split the blanks. So I will need the tubes for the Sedona before I can make it up.

I don't know as I don't have the tubes to measure, I could measure the inserts, but that would give me the internal dia of the tube.

Timberbits give the drill sizes for the sedona as 25/64" (or 10mm) and 15/32" but that is the same for the Baron2, so I wonder if these are not the same as Timberbits Sedona.

I was tempted to force fit the inserts into the Baron2 tubes without blanks on, but as it is not my kit I don't want to ruin it and if I buy these kits I want to know that it all fits well.

I have just checked and these are not the same Sedona as timberbits stock the TB ones have a bottom finial with a thread to be able to post the cap and also the metal part will unscrew. On Dan's Sedona the bottom finial is all metal and no thread and will not unscrew. They both have the same design centreband.

Don't worry about damaging it. All part of sampling.
