Larry those look great!

I was messing with jointed stuff this weekend trying to tighten the joints. I ended up countersinking the whole nose grommet on the back piece a little bit, so the whole nose grommet is countersunk maybe a little over 1/8-3/16. Once you do the tail wrap on the back piece all that sticks out of the nose loop is the very end of the loop. Where yours is cut in such a sharp 'V' you'd need to make the tail loop on the head piece sit horizontal then the countersunk nose loop on the back piece could be vertical ...
