copper steel head tubes

nice lookin' swingers ! ought to do the trick .
are the hook holder tubes glued directly onto the copper ? i assume you used a liner tube .
thanks , jim

 

[failtospey]

Thanks, no glue on the hook holder, I chose a hook holder tube that is very tight going on. Yes copper tube lined with semi rigid plastic tubs.

Very nice Matt,

I must be getting lazy, I tie a Sunray type straight onto the copper do you ever just go with the copper color for the body?
