Yes the first one always takes the longest,thinking how you can do this and do that then trying and modifying it and how to improve.On my custom chopper i stand and look at it for ages placing this here and what if i do that how will that look,even the pics i look to see how i can improve it but it will always get better next time around.

There were just thousands of different angles I had to cut in mine. In the tank alone there were about 25 separate pieces of timber with each edge being angled specifically to suit the mating piece. You know cut, glue, wait, cut glue wait, weeks it took. Next time, I'm simply going to laminate a block and shape it. I tried to build the shape I needed this time to reduce waste, but I don't think it was the best way to go about it. Live and learn!

Ash, that is fantastic! Absolutely brilliant work!
Your great grand children will be arguing over who gets to keep that one!
Well done.

Great piece of work and I agree about taking it to a show; it would attract a lot of interest

Thanks Groggy! In the couple of days since I put it on a few forums, its already made its way to many others. I'm very surprised and pleased with the great feedback. A show would be a bit intimidating I think. But hopefully one day, I'll get an experience like that.
Thanks again!
