In Response To: Why re-invent the wheel? *LINK* *Pic* (Dan Ruff)

One answer to your question is..and I'm very guilty of this...that since I build so many of the things I need I get set in that mentality. I tend not to see that there are other solutions designed by and made by other people that may serve the purpose as well, or better, than something I build. Asking this simple question about holding hatches down has opened up several new, or better, methods than I've been thinking about. I'm going to have to ask more questions in the future. Good things happen.....
