Howdy Ron,

Wow again.  Excellent work on the stays.  Looks like your template technique worked well.

WOW Ron, this just keeps getting better. The wire looks very good.

Thanks Curt, the drawing I made made the wire bending easy.

[elwoodblues]

Fantastic bending on that!

I was going to also recommend fishing line like Mt Blue uses in his kit but you got it Elwood!

Philip

Thanks Philip, I'm not a huge fan of the nylon fishing line as I find it needs to be under a lot of tension in order for it not to sag.  That being said I have used it with great success.  On some of the Mt Blue Kits I have built I have with replaced the fishing line with brass rod.  The fishing line is a viable option.

Larry, I cant take credit for that, that's Larry's  Philip's turntable and installation.

Edit: need to give credit where credit is due.

Thanks Jerry, I'm glad I went with the wire option.

Looking fantastic, Ron.

Reminds me of bending steel for foundations.

Cheers, Mark.

Ron, A+ on bending the wire.
Looks fantastic.

I think the other turntable with the rocks is Philip's.

[Larry C]

Oops!!!!!! Sorry Ron & Philip I guess I didn't read the post well enough. Philip outstanding job on the TT and the rock work is amazing!!!!!

I removed my two photos Ron to unfuse the con-fusz-ion. 

No problem Larry. It is woodland scenic rock and sculptamold mixed with tired feet.
