I'd love to do something similar, but on a much smaller scale, in my living room.
But I get scared every time I think of tackling the project -- which was the original reason I started woodworking!
After just a bit of playing around, I knew I wasn't anywhere near the skill level to do a decent job of something like this.
Yours is spectacular!  _________________ Jordan
