Wow! I'm going to have to read that a few times to try to get the gist of it... Actually, I have a truck with an 8' bed and a cap topper. Maybe I can remove the headstock and carriage, then lift the rest of the entire assembly into the bed and tie it down somehow so it can't fall over. That might be...

A handy template for screwing together 2x4, 2x6 butt joints
Hi folks, I recently made a handy printed sheet of templates to help me center the screw pilot holes for 2x4 and 2x6 butt joints: http://www.chrispitude.net/cache/house/mailbox/IMG_2219__scaled_512.jpg The idea behind these templates is that you cut one out from the printout, lay it where you want t...
