This will be my largest build yet. I will be purchasing the 250 Series Cylinder from Bob & Jason.
The cut will be horizontal following David Merriman's methods as best I can....

As soon as my yearly ham radio camping expedition is over next weekend, I’ll be joining you in this endeavor. I have one new in the box. Let me know when the parts come in. I already got a prop and shaft from Bob.

Gosh, I had not gotten that far in my thinking, need to determine what I will be fabricating. The parts from Danny are not going to be duplicated, but he might sell to others as he did for me.Comment
