              Thanks for all the kind words.

              To answer some questions: I did not make the stools, those are much cheaper to buy @$18 a pop then to make.

              As for things I would avoid, not really sure, on that one. One thing that would have helped was a 7 foot clamp, I have nothing even remotely close to that. The countertop is made of 2 boards that butt up against each other. I did not attempt to do a miter that long. It did come out nice, but the hard part was getting no visable seem, which I was able to accomplish using some tricks. I put screws in the edge of the boards (knowing they would be covered with the handrail) and used clamps to pull the screws together. That got a super tight glue-up seam.

              The most challenging part was the EnviroTex. It is not an easy product to work with, given the size of this project. You only have so much time to work with it, keep it dust free, and not spill it on anything else.

              Anytime your in the area stop in for a drink, your all more than welcome...however you might find yourself helping me tweak my BT3100....lol....
