Hi Hans

I am enjoying Tom's rapidwinders, more I use 'em, more I like 'em, but I
also think that the lock (on one of a pair) is not quite stiff enough. It
has not yet caused a problem, it just doesn't have much resistance.
How did Tom do the adjustment? Could I have a go at that myself or is it a
job for 'the creator' only??

Thanks
Alex
