Hello Karl, 43 legs and I don't know how many boards on the deck surface. Great job and I admire your patience. The deck looks wonderful. Can't wait to see how this develops.   Jeff

Hi All:

The sorting table is finished. It's even better than the sub floor. It has 60 legs. Here's a few pics.

Karl,


Beautiful modeling!  The slight color variations in the individual boards really makes both the sub floor and the deck really outstanding.
