: Mick,

: Ah gee, and I was looking forward to the challenge :-)

: I can see that happening. Of course, if you are doing something shallow and
: specialized like a sit-on-top, it may have internal forms/stringers anyway
: ... Geez, we've got to stop this! I'm getting all kind of building ideas
: ... my wife is going to kill me :-)

: Ok, but when you decide to build a Putz or Wee Lassie on internals, let us
: know :-)

: And it comes in handy when imitating those olympic balance beam and pommel
: horse exercises too :-)

: I have really come to appreciate to readily accessible space. As Nick shows
: in his book, this can be done for internal too. I've found my saw horses
: are pretty handy to clamp pieces too also. No matter which way we go, this
: makes building much more enjoyable.

: Yep. The strongbench idea has some pretty good merits. You need a good place
: to set your beer down once in a while :-)

: How about it Rehd? You going to show us some pictures of your bench when its
: ready?

: Bill

Huh?? Uh.......Who, Me??? Hey, I was just listening, I already talked myself out. But, yes, I will take pictures when I get it done and get the Walrus forms installed. Just let me riiiippp this last piece of carpet out of the living room. :) I'm afraid it'll have to be polaroid type pictures, as that's all's I gots for pics.
