Hi Jean, how's the baby and the wife ? Yeah another project !!!
Hopefully this will zip along also so I can get back to my ships.
ER..............ah.................Ollie I've only been doing this since 2005 meself. I know a little about construction - real size - so that helps.
Also look at some of the work by the man above you [ JBA ] and many others here. There are alot of techniques and how - tos. You also have to be willing to do alot of trial and error building.
T-squares, rulers, mitre boxes, a good steel draftsmans 45, etc.
Above all patience - which I have none of unless I'm relaxing building things.
Thanks Ollie - Cheyenne
