Gary, why is there a model A wheel mounted on a sawhorse?
Remember that thread about steel channel used in car frames to support a large historic wood carving? I was asked to preserve this figurehead from a clipper ship built in Quincy Mass in 1874. The Model A wheel is for rotating the rotisserie I fabbed up for the restoration...Oh, and I followed one 'barners advice and used two 10' rails of 1/8" wall 2x4 steel tube. Now I gotta find the pics on the rotisserie...
