Hi All,
Its been a really long time since I've posted.. I have been working on a plan for almost 1 year and I decided to trash it as it was not well thought out.. My wife was on my case asking why I didn't work on it anymore.. Told her the original was not thought out well.. She suggested that I tare it down and start over and do it right now that I have now alot more than when I started.. I have permision to take an area 15'9" X16'.. Now that I now what I am doing I am trashing the foam Idea and doing an L-Girder bench... I was at grossmans Bargain outlet today and their dimension lumber is half the price of Lowes or home depot as it is a bargain basement type store. I got all the wood for the mesh of the L girder and I just need to get the 1"X4"X16' for the long L girders..I got 25 1"X4"X6' and it is all choice material... Small tight knots.. They were originally $1.98 each and they had them red taged for .98 cents each. I think I might go back and get the rest of them which is probably about 20 more.. I thing I am going with masonite spline road bed as I am going to buy a cheap table saw and miter saw... getting both 2 years old for 110.00.. I am going to try to keep a diary on here so you can see my progress... I know what I want the bench to look like but havent put alot of time into the track layout.... I drew out on paper what I want and will post it but is going to be a picture of my drawing.. I would love to have any suggestions as this is going to be a serious loyout no more hodge podge for me:thumb: again If you have like TrKCad and want to suget some layout idea I would be psych'd:twisted:.. Have picts on in a like 20 minutes
