    Default Marble tower

    I've been working on this for the last couple of weeks, a lady in Sheffield Tassie makes marbles and sells them to tourists etc. anyway she bought the plans off the net and asked if I would build it. Its 1.1 meters high 400mm diameters at the base made of Celerytop pine, Blackwood, Myrtle. Huon pine, Black-hart Sassafras and Tiger Myrtle.

    That really is special, I love the bit of myrtle with the curved channel in it... where were the plans from and do they have instructions on how to make the components or just plans & dimensions then you need to figure the rest out?
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Hi Corbs the plans are from Forest Street Designs I don't know how much she paid for then, put the name in a search engine the plans are in inches and a lot of small angles to cut good practice thou.
