It’s kinda small. I would like to see your work. I enjoy seeing what others have done(helps me get motivated). I just can’t see it. Can you make it any larger?

sorry about the size but it’s one of those free websites and the pics they allow to transfer are only the thumbnails…I do have them on a public room at http://community.webshots.com/user/bayouman1 …[:D]

Nice pics. Just “finished” my basic benchwork myself. Mine is a smaller layout, 10 x 10 walk-in. Have a couple pictures on my website. Noticed that you just happened to include Linn Westcott’s book in one of your shots. I, too, relied on it as my construction manual and “accidentally” included it in one of the pictures.

Looking good! Keep us updated on the progress. I just love watching these layouts grow.

With the pics it is hard to tell “depth.” How deep (or wide) is your benchwork with the longer joists?

And I’m curious, do you leave your screws in the L of the L girder or not, some do & some don’t. It is the glue that provides the structural strength so some take them out.
