Thx for all the kind words. It has been a looooong haul. And, I learned so much from this site, that it's incredible. Not only did I learn great techniques and ideas, but also that there are "others" out there ( quite a few too ) who are just as insane as me to take on a project like this. Not to mention - some very talented craftsmen who can articulate concepts etc., via typing.

As I've mentioned in the past, any big project has a few requirements:

desire, vision, passion, $, time, beer, good resources for materials & info, patience, and drive. Stubborness too...

I'm sure I'm missing a few, but that's what helped me along.

Anyway, I have tried to post pix in the past, but had no luck. Strick ended up somehow posting some of them for me. Any " new " advice as to how to post 'em ?

Thx,
