Very nicely done, Daryl! Thank you for sharing this project with us. I work with a volunteer fireman. I like this enough to ask him about doing something similar.
I was also eyeing your table and drooling on my keyboard. When I got far enough down to see that you have the head and column to go with it, the jealousy matured! That sounds like a fun project too.
Depending upon my friend's answer, I might be posting a similar coffee cup project. Thanks again!
