    Don't you want to ask him if he can make up 2 ? Don't have any wood working tools or place to build something like this. If he's keen, just let me know how much.

    Will do, I have the tools, but not the time :-( I'm going to try and get some prices on different woods as well, and will let you know.

    Mario, I don't mind either. In fact I reckon the veneered supawood option might actually be better.

    You can find it at http://www.smallstreams.co.za/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=9 under Wrapper/Dryer.

    Mario this link doesnt work anymore? Any chance of getting the schematics still? Anyone got this made up yet?

    Thanks
