Okay, I'll edit this post, and mention that I dug out my camera. With any luck at all, I'll have some more photos ready for you in the very near future.

I was in the local Ace Hardware today, and back in the corner, I found a small selection of balsa wood and basswood. There's not much there, and the guy says that he won't be stocking it once it's gone. I smell a lowball offer in the offing, one that will be accepted! I did purchase one sheet of the basswood. It's been there quite a while, because you should see how tight and smooth the grain is. I haven't seen sheets of basswood this nice in quite a few years. I think it'll be perfect for fabricating the hatch I'll be talking about in the next post.
