Progress on Number3

Anything to do with mechanical, construction etc

With your 3 and my one, that is an average of 2 for each of us, so I look better and you don't look quite as sick as people think you are.:D

Number 3 is sure looking nice. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

I wish, but I am counting on you for average materials purchased, as well. :lol: I just wish we could get better than average materials!

Paul,

Great job.... gives me hope on mine.

I have started and was unsure if I needed to hole the sides up more as I moved along as I see you are supported in the back and on top by one bar. that Means I can do the same and make things fit better.

That looks real nice .... maybe one day I come down under to try it out.

I guess I'm a bit like you Heikki. I'll stop when the fun goes out of it or I die. Whichever comes first :lol:

Hey Paul.....good job on #3!!! The thing is....I've found, is that part way through a build, you come up with another idea or a look that is too late to do on that one, so I bank it for the next build...Like Jim said you're sick...therefore I know I'm in good company... ;) ;) Doug
