Lookin' good Joe!

Two tips for you guys getting ready to follow in Joe's footsteps...

1 -- Building surface: In the U.S., 2ft x 4ft ceiling tiles are available VERY inexpensively (about $2.00 to $2.50 at "home improvement" stores) and are the world's second best surface for holding pins. If you don't find pink foam or would like to spend less, ceiling tile is an outstanding material for this use.

2 -- Elevator joining: An easy way to assure that the elevator hinge line is straight across the two elevators is to built them over the plan with a single leading edge piece joining them at the proper width (instead of building them separately), then install joiner while the two are still connected and finally remove the unneeded wood between them.

Building is great -- enjoy!
