    haha thanks man, didn't think anyone would notice ^_^ It's brilliant, you can almost strum it like a guitar string, and even if things shift a little in the wind and move closer together it's still tight :)

    Oh my... ^_^ I think I just wet myself :p

    Ahhh someone who shares a similar passion ^_^ I was just about to hit up your thread after I posted here. I think I may go there now.


    Meanwhile, got some good weldings done tonight. Final floor patch is 3/4 done thanks to some help from Dirby. Floor should be all finished, primed, and stone-guarded by the end of the weekend.
