Fantastic work Gary.
You're another who's putting my work to shame. Good on you, you've given me even more motivation along with looking at Mel's BSA and Derek's boats and submarine. Something to aspire to. Your attention to detail is amazing.

this is the other side i allso have the ruff inside in place this all covers with a old prent fabrick and lather with carpet in the floor well... one thing i can add is make sure that all the parts or the very same side to side ench for ench a 1/6th'' can mess you up when you put it togather take alot of time at this point.. i clamp a board in the fince of my table saw and use the top and the fince to keep it square (Don't) make anything hard an fast tell your sure.....hope this helps...
