Hoping to get a glance at a finished picture.

Are you finished yet Doug?


No. Don't be impatient. Did you used to bug your mother to
lick the spoon when she was making a cake? Well trust me,
you don't want to do that with epoxy!

I just sent some pics to Bart, maybe he can post them. Right
now I have it wrapped up in plastic & clamps waiting for
some new laminations to set up. Tomorrow I will try to get
some pics.

BTW just before taking the pics I sent to Bart, a neighbor &
I tested the strength of the newly installed center thwart.
2 men jumping up and down on it, no cracking or crunching
and very very little flex.

Could you do that in steel, and keep the weight down enough
to carry with one hand?
