There's a little M.C. Escher in the first two photos the way the posts line up. I had to focus a bit. Very nice work Augie.

You got me with that one Dave.  I wasn't sure if I should be happy or get out the chain saw.  I'll settle for a smile.

Well, I have to add to all the comments about your superb workmanship.  This is one of those times when 'likes' are not enough.

Well done, a standard for the rest of us to strive for.

Cheers.

Now we'll concentrate on getting the rails on all around.

 

Hope everyone is ready for the (long awaited) change of seasons. Here, in the Northern Hemisphere, it means a decrease in shop time as the great outdoors beckons.  But I hope you all have had a healthy and productive winter 'building season'.

Augie,

 

I am still amazed, what you are doing and the way you are presenting this log will surely help everyone who will build Confederacy. Certainly me, once I get to her. :)

She's looking superb, Augie.

 

Here in Sydney, the onset of winter will mean that we get slightly shorter days and, if the weather gets really cold, the minimum daily temperature might very briefly get down to zero! :)
