That would seem right, I'm just pretty anal when it comes to things I copy
and make to be as close as possible to what is really is. ALTHOUGH, maybe
thats how they really are made. :) As an example, if you took the trefoil I
drew, and scaled it way way down, you could take measurements off of it, and
compare it to the 2 on the front of TKD, you'll find they are the same (you
should have heard the comments by the machinists about me measureing the
front of TKD down to 4 decimal places. )
