What would you do if I said "Yes" David? " Damn, go to sleep one night and I miss the whole thing!"

I didn't either. It's tight! I can see real advantages to being able to "spread out" on a project like this.

Re: And So It Begins... Knottybuoyz' New Project
Last of the CnC parts cut out. Oh my aching back. Thank gawd for Robaxacet!
Somehow I have to organize this huge puzzle so I have room to work!

Re: And So It Begins... Knottybuoyz' New Project
Assembly table. 24' x 4'
Longest panel will be approx. 32' so it'll be sticking out the barn doors!

Re: And So It Begins... Knottybuoyz' New Project
The table wasn't strong 'nuff. It broke when I dropped a sheet of meranti on it so I had to rebuild it stronger.
I hope this doesn't set the tone for the whole project, having to do everything twice!

Goodluck with the project I will be watching closely. You have been planning and gathering for a good long time. It must feel good to get started.

Thnx Charlie. A lifelong dream and seven years of planning. I only hope I don't screw it up and embarrass myself. 
Thnx for watching.

Two years minimum. Three if I really take my time and get it right. I've got 3 yrs 10 mo till I retire so there's no real urgency. I've seen one of these (28' version) built in a year if you stick pretty much to the design (which I'm not).
I still have a daunting list of stuff to buy! Windows, range, heater, fridge, 35 gallons of epoxy, infinite improbability drive etc. mostly all bigger ticket items!

Re: And So It Begins... Knottybuoyz' New Project
Rick, congratulations on taking the next step towards achieving your dream! I suspect that two years will prove to be a very short period of time for such an elaborate project, regardless of what you still need to buy. Good luck amigo!

Re: And So It Begins... Knottybuoyz' New Project
Congrats Rick! I am so excited to follow the project here on this thread. It's going to be an inspiration for so many! We have to have a party and stream the christening live over the net!
What kind of time line are you expecting right now?
