Thats quite the setup you've got. I like the wheel at the end. But what are those triangular things underneath the strongback? I predrilled some holes in the cross-braces of my boxbeam strongback, in case I felt like stringing some electrical cable through, but haven't bothered to wire it up yet. Do you find the powerbars save you any significant effort/time?

: horses and six Blue Bird houses, plus I used the scraps to start my stove

: $38 at Menards, on sale, going through piles of wood for selection, and
: have enough left over to get a good start on my new boat. This can be half
