Great stuff on your blog and site. Thanks for your comments on my blog. I have a 44 coming I don't know if I'll have time to work with though. I've emailed Bull Stewart to get info on the meet the first time bounced back and I haven't heard anything from the second try. Again great job with your bench looks like it was a good push to finish that one.
