Hi all, Does anyone know of a website that shows plans for making a nice metal thin vane spider? I've seached and keep coming up with curved spiders or those little "secondary on a stick" ones haha. I have a thick plastic 3 vein on my Discovery 6 inch Newt. Years ago I saw plans SOMEWHERE on how to make one from that thin metal strapping material. Thanks in advance! RonS

The one you were thinking of was on Steve Swaze's site.

Though he had some site problems and the picture is gone. Email him and I am sure he would send it to you. I have one and could take a picture too if need be.
