Cool I like the idea of showing off as you build. I said I was finished but now I'm gonna start over so I can show off too. Ron
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?

Looks like there's already some great items underway.  I think I've got my idea finalized, and plan on starting this week.  I'll try to snap some pics along the way.

Here are a few more shots of the progress.

Thanks,

Thank You Guys...

She's coming along pretty nice...
Barring any unexpected delays, I should have the filling and sanding done in a week or two.
Then on to finishing.
