Boy, how i wish i had plans! I made all the pieces up as i went along. Spent an inordinate amount of time just staring, just trying to picture the next step :)

just now building my first piece using a plan...it's a world of difference! All my pieces were cut in less than an hour, and i jumped right into constructing.
