: Elliot,
: I think I might be the guy who suggested using the L shaped blocks to ya when
: you first came on the board. But I use them just to hold the sheer strip.
: But what is really cool is what you have added to it. 1) making the blocks
: out of foam 2) using it for more then just sheer strips 3) clamps rather
: then screws. I love it!!!! It amazes me how again and again an idea will
: hit this board and keep getting worked. Improved carved on. Good kept, bad
: tossed and pretty soon there is a better idea out there. As for me I went
: out and got some foam block this afternoon. Slick Very Slick! ;) !RUSS

!Russ, I didnt use foam. I hope you didnt spend alot or I hope foam works. I used left-over pieces of cabinet grade plywood and left-over pieces of MDF from cutting out the station forms. I guess that pic is a little fuzzy. I hope it didnt cause alot of confusion. My apologies if it did.

Keep building, Elliott
