I didn't mean to put down anyone's work, but rather to state how precious a broken shaper can be given the current interest in this type of tool, and I was thinking more of the Gingery shaper and the limitations of building in cast aluminium, which is just not as good as cast iron in so many ways.
Sorry if I have offended, I have briefly seen some of Gerards work and it does look very good, but it wasn't on my "radar" when I posted above.
