looking forward to following this one … what is your estimate of man hours involved ?

Lee, sounds like a “fun” project. I have to make sure to watch for your updates.

Hi Dan;

Roughly the rest of my life. LOL

Actually, I am still deciding how I will tackle the project, so it’s difficult to say.

I may sub out some things, so it will vary. I will track man hours though.

Can’t wait to see it, Lee. I’m glad I’m not the only one doing stuff like this. I took a commission for a 9’ tall book case. My shop only has 8’ ceilings, so I’m going to have to get inventive, too. Keep us posted.

Lee, as a member of the “If it ain’t impossible why bother club” I have to say that I look forward to seeing how this thing comes together. What material are we looking forward to seeing? I’ll have my eye on this one.

Lee, I’m also looking forward to this one. Great love and great achievements involve great risks. Good Luck!

More power to you. Wow! I wouldn’t even dream about making something that large. I image that it will be pretty darn heavy also.

Good luck! I can’t wait to hear your ideas for tackling a large project within limit shop space. Thanks for contributing!

I’ll bring my boorm and dustpan and promise to styay out of the way.

Best of luck to you Lee.

Love to be a fly on the wall….hay maybe it’s time to install a web cam.

That is longer than a lot of our shops!! I am going to enjoy seeing the construction blog on this one. It does sound like even though the project is intimidating it will be an interesting build.

Have fun.

Lee glad to hear this. A place for us to put the Show and Tell for the 2009 LumberJock’s Picnic And we could also serve our picnic dinner on it.

This will be great.

Geez – With all these guys wishing you support, it should be a real confidence builder for you. I know I don’t need to wish you luck, I’m sure you can handle this no problem for a guy like you. I wish I was there to be a part of it, but I leave tuesday to inspect the statue, and it looks like they’re going to send it to me for working on, YAY!!!!!!!! I don’t have to commute and stay in Palm Beach. You got my support buddy.
