hi plans did not download
Simple love this I only wish I had young one to make it for. I really think I will make it and see what neighbor kids would like one.
I like the classic shape and use of simple sections – it might help use up some of my timber stock!
Like it so much.
Thanks for your efforts, I’ll try to build this tonight and may be share photos with you guys.
I’ve read the plans and after reading it, something’s just don’t add up. How far down on part A do you drill the First, Second, Third and the Fourth hole ?? I also asked for you be to be sent to my place. How long would it take till I receive it in my mailbox ?? Thank Michael
