Yes, perhaps we should do a finger check in episode II?! :lol:

Neither can I.... :wink: :lol:

Amy: yes, the grunting is, of course, MANdatory (pun intended), especially when passing the Binford Tool section. Oh, and by the way, I still have all my fingers. :wink:

Jacca: yes, it will be very labor intensive. Especially because I'm also planning to install hidden lights in it as well. :shock:

Boilerbabe: video would have been fun, but since I was all by myself it would have been a little hard to do. Plus, I didn't want people in the store to think I was some kind of psycho... :shock: :lol:

Mindflipper: I've come pretty close to losing appendages before, but in almost 40 years of playing with sharp tools I haven't done too bad. :wink:

NaCler: the breakfast place is just a little hole-in-the-wall joint that we like. Good food, friendly staff, and fair prices. Lots of our friends go there.

I totally love this!!! Wow! I imagined it to be smaller, I am so impressed! And the way you did a shadow to trace it? What a great tip! I can't wait to see more of this thread. By the way, how heavy do you imagine this will be when all finished?

Thanks! Your enthusiasm helps keep me motivated. :mrgreen:
I imagine it will probably weigh about 30 pounds or so when done, not counting the pins.

Dude - Ouch, 30lbs without the pins? Are you mounting this on the wall or constructing a Mickey feet stand?

It will be mounted on the wall, but rest assured that it will be done properly. I plan to install interlocking steel brackets on the back, with the wall-mount part screwed solidly into the studs. I don't want that thing crashing down on something. Besides, I intend to run wiring to it from inside the wall so that it stays lit up without any externally visible wires. :D

Awww, gawrsh.... (shuffling feet, hanging head.... :oops: )
Thanks!
Sadly, though, I fear that updates may be far between. I have very little time to work on it, and it may take months to finish it, so updates may be a couple (or several) weeks apart. :(
I'll do my best, though. Thanks for your patience. The end result will be worth the wait (I hope... :shock: :wink: ).

Awesome dough critters, Jacca! Did you eat them? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Amy, try actually shopping at the Man Zone Toy Store... who knows? You might meet a handsome airline pilot buying a tool and be able to sweet talk him into flying you to WDW for free in December! :wink:
