I gotta admit, that's pretty impressive. I'd like to see how it holds up over time. A lot of that factor will be the backbone. WHat is it made of? 4x4? It has to be reinforced with something or cranking up the tension would bow it a bit, wouldn't it?

I like the design, he's put a LOT of thought and simplification into it.

He's got some great plans. I wish I could get him to sell me one of those advanced box joint jigs. I have no interest in making one for myself, however. Just lazy like that.

Uh, JJ!! He's got plans for jewelry displays!! You might need to go take him out.
