John,

Thanks for the message. I don't really have any specific questions on the ball in cage. Just more of an overall one on freeing the ball from the bars. I did one a couple of years ago but didn't plan well, and ended up making the ball too small, so it'll squeeze out of the cage. I have ball-in-cage blank (holes drilled to start removing the ball), but I've hesitated on it 'cause I don't want to goof it up. I'll get one of the guys in the local club to give me some pointers. Then I'll try one with the twist.

Not an expert by any means on the ball in cages, but have done quite a few. Would be glad to try to answer any questions you may have about them. You can see some of mine in my WCI gallery. They are not that hard once you have done a couple. The twist, on the other hand, is more difficult. John
