MAGIC's Craig Posted November 12 Author #31 Posted November 12 Thanks, Keith. I spent a bunch of time thinking about carefully framing and then building each unit as if I were building them full-size... however, eventually, the back brain hammered on the door to the front brain to say that carving and gouging out some blocks of wood would be far simpler and quicker. When I woke up that morning, it just seemed like a better idea when working at this scale. Keith Black, FriedClams and mtaylor 3 Quote

It is fun to have something one thought about, eventually drew up (and had to shelve) begin to take a more physical presence in the "shop". And I am also pleased that this sort of work earns praise. It is an enjoyable hobby with much still to learn by doing. Craig FriedClams and Keith Black 2 Quote
