Thank you :!:

Did you make kits of it for sale?


No..... Pretty much a 1-off item. Hmmmm.......I do have a friend with a laser cutter. Maybe we could put together some short run kits? I'll have to ask him.

Looks like I started with that ol' flat car kit of mine, :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Probably had it laying about, probably incomplete scavenged parts for whatever and decided that the best way to get rid of it was to build something. I probably have quite a few cars laying about that had similar origins of combined scavenging and salvaging. :wink: :wink:

Do you recall the stain that you used for your deck boards?
I like the rustic color!

It's left over MinWax that I dump into a bottle and re-fill randomly - Walnut, Ebony, Ipswitch Pine, Pecan, etc. - and then top off with thinner. It's always changing as I use it.
