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.

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

Cheers for the tips

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

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

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,

What a wonderful day,

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

I once drank with Libyans in an Irish pub in Germany - 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.

I once met a group of Libyans in a pub in London and one had a golden coloured gun

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