Before I buy this article from FHB, does anybody remember how good this article was. Does the first line start with.... Buy 40K$ of teak.

If I remember correctly, I thought that the changed design had lost most of the beauty of the original. The changes in proportion and layout were major.
Boy that's putting it mildly. I was too impatient and bought the article yesterday before your reply and I was pretty disapointed with the article. IMHO, I thought it looked really lame. The wide panels really closed up the look. The joinery was not interesting.
Well I got the Makinson book and the G&G Masterworks book coming from Amazon and I got my head gears in motion. I'm seriously thinking about making something like it, metal clamps, the whole nine yards. However, I don't want it to be just a carbon copy. I'd want metalwork on it ...but different. Since I live in NC I'd love to add some kind of Southern element to it. I think I also want to make the balluster/side work more seethru.
