    • Now you’ve got me thinking.Its something I like doing,I have nothing against kits,but when you’ve made all the parts yourself,there is so much more satisfaction.If there is something you want to make and a kit is not available ,you can make it yourself if you have the ability.You can also choose what size you want.

  7. Beautifully made Derek. Love this.
