PaulMarcel Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 A member posted that he's having difficulty getting over some hurdles with this build. Likely there are others. As many are already well advanced on their project, they could likely help someone stuck a little ways back. I'm guessing most of the needed help is in the form of jointing/planing stock be it by electricity, ATP, or frenzied beavers. So, if you want to put yourself out there to possibly help out, reply to this thread. Someone stuck can find someone in this thread and PM them to see if they can help out with whatever hurdle is in the way. To the requestors, be sure to put some detail in any query. And also: it is to get over a hurdle, not get side-by-side mentoring for the rest of the build I'm not doing the build, but if someone needs some help with something, I'm in Chandler, AZ.

Beechwood Chip Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'm in Philadelphia, PA. I don't know how much help I can be, but sometimes two heads are better than one, and four hands are better than two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cts1085 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I am near Orlando, FL - I have some power tools (joiner/planer/bandsaw) and would be willing to help! Of course I may need some myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayTalbott Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hey Paul-Marcel, I may take you up on that offer. I've got the tools, but will likely need a hand manhandling the large pieces into the jointer, planer, etc. And I can't imagine that there won't be a few other spots along the way where I'll be doing something I've never done before where I'll need a hand.
