To keep woodworking somewhere in there, tracked this down the other Reason being, I wanted a few measurements from it. I'm planning onmaking a gun chest - don' need no steenkin' plans, but no need toreinvent the wheel either. Need a place to park my shotgun - it'ssummer, lots of new lawyers on the loose, and it's rabies season - nevercan tell when you might get attacked by a rabid lawyer. LOL Well, the Luv project has slowed down a bit. Is that possible?Seems the kid is looking for a larger place, so put his up for sale. Ahwell. Children, you gotta love 'em - because you sure can't get rid of'em. But, on a positive side, coming up with some positive ideas forthe Dub project. Figured out I should be able to lighten it maybeanother 200 lbs; plus came up with some ways to do some mods easier,faster, and cheaper, than I'd figured. Once the garage is up, should beable to get on it first thing. The garage is slow going, but going.I've been watching Monster Garage, for ideas, and actually got some.LOL If the Dub was done on there, I figure it would take about a day,start to finish, max two. It isn't gonna be a rat rod, but it will be abit crude, and rude. Then once I have free space, planing on a boat. Just need todecide which one I want most. For a long time I've wanted to make a telescope. Dobsonian. But,all the plans I looked at were complicated, and confusing. Then a fewmonths back I got a book oneBay, "Build Your Own Telescopes". Less than$10, including shipping. Simple plans, and easy to understand.Building should be no problem. Wood, of course. I'm gonna try tosqueeze one in after the Dub, use it for awhile, then either give it tothe grand-dau, or just keep it, and make one for her and her dad to puttogether. One plan is supposedly simple enough for a pre-teen to puttogether (4" f/10 refector), so they should have no problems. The older son, and his family, went to visit his mother, herdime. Otherwise he...
