Thanks Andy & Tom, make a big mess then clean it up people think you've done a lot. An old building trade secret when you had a bad productive day.

Thanks Den I'm glad you got something out of it because that's what it's all about. We all share what we know or don't know only to make ourselves better at what we like to do. Happy Trails to you until we meet....... After I said all that I got the ole Roy Rogers tune on my mind, sounds like something Roy would say at a train clinic.

Thumbs up "try to make it look a little better... "

...you gotta be kiddin'!

This thing would look great sitting on a gopher mound! and I thought nothing could top the sawmill.

Again, Jim - an excellent build, nice photos, and a wonderful story to boot.
