Thanks Mike. Thats a real compliment coming from you and your wood working abilities.

It was a real learning experience for me. I started from a 13" X 4" X 26' piece of lumber and all the raw plate and steel rod. It make you feel accomplishment when you use them! I particularly like the silence in the studio as I'm working.
