Hi, Todd, last spring, Ihad the luck to find Nick`s book on a shelf at a wood distributor, I looked at it, couldn`t resist getting it. I think i must have read it 3 or 4 times in a month, then I decided to give a try at the off-sets, having zero knowledge of this matter. from the moment that I started figuring this out, and getting to understanding the principles , took me 3 hours.No need to tell you, that I went trough many tries on paper, before I got the point.

Anyhow, during this week, I drew all the stations on paper, this took me about 12 hours.the rest was easy , putting forms on plywood and cutting took about 20 hours. Total time =32 hours.

Just to give you a timeline. Decision is yours to take,

John ,Montreal
