Very interesting project, Sid.

Sid · 05-25-2008, 08:11 PM

Well here's the fruits of my labor at the end of week #1.Completed cutting all the 2x4's to length, drilled the last of the 320 dowel holes, inserted all the dowel pins and have the front, back and sides assembled:
Yours truly drilling the final hole:

A shot to this point:

A closeup of the drilling. It shows my home-made doweling jig:

Hmm. Nice. So what kind of substrate will you be using?

The Cypress give a nice natural look, I've been useing it for the past two years with no problems. Why switch now?

Point taken. :P
I guess it's a matter of preference. I wonder which one's cheaper via net weight...
