jdbondy Posted Monday at 04:39 PM Share #310 Posted Monday at 04:39 PM I would be interested in seeing more details on how you did the FC stanchions and rail, because that looks to me like a complicated process to get the stanchions vertical while accurately cutting the holes in the rail to accept them.
