Good Idea 'UJ', but its already been done, Utube tells me an instrumental called "Angle Of the Dangle" was used as the Theme for a Movie called, "The Losers" back in 2010 :-(
I always remember as a youngster, "Angle of the Dangle" being used in Dirty Ditty, which from memory went something like this: The Angle of the Dangle and the Heat of the Meat is equal to the Rise and Fall of the Left Hand (you know what) :-)
'UJ', I did have previous experience of working with the "Angle of the Dangle", due to my former life in the construction industry, and it did take a bit of thought and figuring out, BUT!, all is not as it seems, probably not noticeable in the Pics, but one of the Wings is 20mm longer than the other, didn't pick it up until after it was glued and set!, still has me intrigued "How and Why" :-D

Angle of dangle. That sounds like an AGP instrumental.
Cool seeing how you mitered and made the body. I bet that took some figuring. And some trial and erroring?
