Your jingles (zills?) look right to me. As does the number of them. It looks a lot like the one of the ones that has been rolling around in King's carpet bag for years. Some of them have an elongated slot cut in to the side of the rim to help hold it but you may not need / want that. Dave

Looks great Steve.  I'd clench those tacks though.  A standard move on stage was to spin it on the player's finger like a juggler does with a plate.  Those tack points would make a mess of the player's hand.

 Joel, I totally agree about the tack points, they don't bend easy,,, Icouldnt find my small ball peen, and was afraid of messing it up. any ideas how to bend  them over?
