Fantastic t! It must feel great to finally be started on the actual construction. I am going to be watching your progress every step of the way. Turning dreams into reality - that's what it's all about! Keep up the good work!

Hey t., your benchwork surely looks professional!
I'm about in the same stage of construction and can't wait to lay the first track.:cool:
I hope you got out of your access hole again! Comparing my dimensions with yours I would have been stuck there for good! :D :D :D
That's why I'll have no access holes on my layout. ;)

Lookin good t., looks like a nice fit. Did you leave a little room for if your chest sags down around your waist like mine did? I didn't gain weight as much as it just relocated. Looks like ya still got all 6 fingers on yer left paw, but why er ya hidin the raht one? Bet it feels great to see it coming together!

Woodie - I think he picked up that cap when he lived up by Cobblers Knob; I think I saw Tripod wearing one once. Speakin of Tripod, I saw a two legged dog on the animal cahnnel the yesterday. He was missing a front and rear on the same side, but when he ran he looked normal. When he stood still, he kinda hopped around. Lost 'em when he was a pup, so he doesn't know any better.

hey T!!
Looking Good!!!!!!!

Whatever you do, Don't lose this pic!!

You will want to look back on it & also show others what it looked like. I took about 40 pics of our layouts & it amazes people that you start with nothing & build your own little world! :) :) Good luck!!

I agree!! There's no therapy like that ole hammer and nails type therapy!! Tho I prefer deck screws and a cordless driver myself. :D

Aahhhhh the smell of the wood, the whine of the saw, the filling of space and especially, like Val says, the realization of a dream.

Keep goin t.!!..... and keep us posted with lots of pics every step of the way. We'll all be cheerin for ya!!
 
Hi all, ok I got this part done....now what do I do, lol

That hat keeps the hamster at the ol' brain controls from getting cold. I got good heat out there but was practicing good energy conservation that day.

jon, would'nt it be great to get ol' tripod and "Duece" together!

Shamus, I was scratching my hat trying to figure out how you can build this stuff as quick as you do...you da man!

Btw, I'm hoping that access hole will be a good incintive to stay thin? :D

Come to think of it - perhaps I'll add a narrow access hole on my pike. Then I'll have a true reason to lose weight, until I'm fitting into that hole :D :D :D

Looking good!

Very proffesional looking benchwork there, T. As mentioned, you've also done a great job of the train room. I envy your clean workspace, and look forward to progress updates.:)
