thanks guys,i got more of this stuff if anyone else once a shot of it.
that pcs on the bench weighs approx 70 lbs
i have 11's there well over a hundred!
the home owner needed it to be 16" so i tried to biscuit it together and gorilla glue it for 2 days with pipe clamps. that failed so i drilled the back and drove 5" ledger locks into it.

I'd love to take some of that stuff off your hands....but as one of NJ's ten worst carpenter's and one of NJ's ten best tooth pick makers....I think it's in everyone's best interest if I just admire the masters' work.

Perhaps you can continue to use it for now, but if and when I start to franchise in the States we can talk about it then?
Again, best wishes for your son!

I just googled that phrase, it's used by businesses all over the planet. Seems public domain to me.
