    Almost complete,finish sanding and seal it with clear coat..Oh and the dreaded wheel assembly needs finished..I'm struggling to figure out how to make it more realistic looking.Went with wood dowel instead of wire,I was having trouble shaping the metal the way i liked

    That looks awesome Mike. You never cease to amaze me. I am impressed by the way you made your rails. It is not as easy as it looks.

    Free wood is the greatest.

    Someone always gets lots of free fire wood out of free wood.
