BlackJack,

I'm sitting here laughing out loud. I can hear each of them clear as a bell. I am just finishing up a new project with the ole beast in the garage and it went much like yours. In my case, it was a bit more complicated (by me of course). Bob jumped in with both feet and the CAD, coming up with a typically neat, innovative, and elegant solution. Peter, well he was just Peter. Always a little frazzled, and seemingly hopeless but really well in control. Going way out of his way to help me hook up with a buyer for my extra parts and delivering what was needed on time (that's ERA time). And Doug putting up with my endless questions, yet never being satisfied until it passed his muster as well.
My deal was to assemble the unit myself. But when I showed up, Doug had it all done for me! Weld the brackets per the instructions (with Bob's typical detailed drawings and measurements like 8.087 inches!) and it just fell in.

There is no better deal around for me.
