It was bound to happen. I have only really looked at a couple of woodies ever. All three were about 6 months into the build and in one location. By then it would have been too late for any big changes. I have made a couple of rough sketches. Most planning was done by bending sticks onto rough framework, so I sort of had it coming. Now that I have my regular tools back from the jobsite this change should go quite well. After the Holidays at this point. Thank you for the nice comments.
