Why did you make a thread about it @newman? Sucks he killed himself, i remember the wooden engine hoist thread, but not him killing himself. I went back through the links people posted here and im not gonna attempt to log into myspace to see the pics of the wooden hoist, too bad im curious about what process looked like. Someone post them lol ---
