And watch trying to make precision cuts with a saw, unless your a wizard with it. I used to cut it slightly long then sand it down with a belt sander, for anything precision I had to do.

I think you will do fine, good luck. Deep down inside every man knows how to do carpentry.:salute:

Nothing as complex as dovetail joints I'm afraid...90 degree angle braces :oops:

Does your man-cave not already have a floor? They are commonly used to stand things on! :D

And remember the Seaway rule of precision: measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe :DL

Looks like our posts crossed......yes screws and pilot holes are a must...ta :DL

I had finally today the time to answer it - brief summary:
The revolution starts at noon! We'll meet at Vendor's house - he will provide us with schnaps to fill our water guns - then we can successfully overthrow the Swedish King and steal one of their Gotland class subs! No pasaran!

I like surprises,:D

Gaddafi needn't worry he might be doomed but at least his son is Saif

Gerald 10-21-11 12:17 PM

Gaddafi son arrested...

Jimbuna 10-21-11 12:50 PM

That is good to know...no free holiday in exile for him then.

Penguin 10-21-11 12:57 PM

I once drank with Libyans in an Irish pub in Germany :88) - I hope there wasn't one of Daffy's sons among them...

It was pretty cool though, as they bought many rounds for me and my friends.

They were bragging how rich their country is from the oil, so I guessed they were the kids of people with influence or privileges.
