    When I started following this thread, I didn’t have one I was planning to build. Well, that changed last month so I am even more interested now and appreciate all the details. :D Looking better all the time!

    Been slow going with the rain since the shop is outdoors. So here is where I'm at. Once I complete window frames , it should go smoother...
