Steel run...

Felt like a bit of a step forward today.  Over the past few weeks I've been playing around with getting the clock frame designed in TurboCad.  Today, I picked up the steel for the frame.  The frame is going to be made primarily out of 3/8" x 1" and 3/8" x 1 1/2" stock.  This is the closest match that I could get to the original frame.


I also just realized that its rather appropriate that I picked up the steel today.  Last year I made an effort at the frame which was aborted due to hurricanes.  Although Wilma should not hit me, I will probably get rain most of the weekend from it.  I learned from last year's experience but it was good that I didn't try to keep going.

So, I hope this weekend to get started on the frame if the rain doesn't cause problems.
