Hi David,

Dave:

Would have to agree with Dave Kirkham. I may have you build me one of those. Be a great conversation piece in the living room!! Maybe put a stand underneath it and a round glass top and make it into a coffee table of sorts.

I'm sure my wife would go with a Top Loader coffee table. NOT!

Great pictures.

Outstanding photos. I'm with Cal, it would round out the home decor nicely.

What does it cost to build one of those cut-a-aways? Who has the transmission right now?
