Saturday AM Project

Postby volfanatic72 » Sat Jun 23, 2007 1:14 pm

I spent Saturday morning cutting a profile out of some plywood reclaimed from an old iguana cage. The profile is a slightly altered Mini-Hopper (squared lower front corner). What do you think?

HAHA! That's exactly what I thought! It reminds me of the runabout camper that's here somewhere.

Keep working on that volfanatic72! That's got some potential!

That TN grass sure looks dry. We're dry in Blue Ridge also, though we've had a few good showers last week.

Profile looks great. What happened to the iquana???

:thumbsup: Looks good to me. The top left corner of the door looks a bit close. Make sure you have enough room for framing. 8)

Geron:

That iguana was a mean sucker. He went back to the pet shop after a few months.

Miriam:

You know... I told my wife earlier that the door looked a little close, and that I might want to move it back. WELL... after reading your comment, I took another look. It seems I may have learned a lesson today. MEASURE TWICE & CUT ONCE!!! The top front angle is about 6" too far back.

Thanks for the suggestions!!!
