Hello Kathy, I read you LiveJournal glad to hear you and yours are working together to build a HG, wish I had seen it earlier I could have lent you body clamps and a edge router bit, would have saved you money and trips to Home Depot. I think that first time builders should work together for getting tools and "good" advice, if we can get a east coast get-together perhaps a workshop or a few lessons on building. To everyone on the list I have several sets of plans in "Swedish" one for a Ukrainian lira and another for Hungarian Tekero, sure could use help in translating, my Universal Translator give me some few words but mostly mish-mash. Any Swedish crankers out there??
