Over-researching a topic or comment is my first instinct when confronted with a lack of skill or experience.<br /><br />I've cobbled together only a few items in wood, but this one had to work as I will be working directly under a suspended engine. I'd rather not be known as Capt. Flat Stanley (a kid's book that impressed me greatly as a child).<br /><br />So I had to think it through. So far, no squishing or furrowed brows caused by tormented wood fibres parting at speed.<br /><br />Next up: Skipper learns to weld. Stay behind the yellow tape and wear protective eyewear!Rhyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598445145507204424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6458075112175110787.post-25842933584298447322012-03-14T18:41:57.254-04:002012-03-14T18:41:57.254-04:00This just shows how intelligence and extensive res...This just shows how intelligence and extensive research can save big bucks. <br /><br />Timber resists well to compression if properly squared up and braced, as you did. <br /><br />It's a simple and cost-effective solution, I find it elegant in every way.<br /> <br />Well done, Rhys.John at NYCnoreply@blogger.com
