"Thanks UJ", I find the Flag highlights the Timber and Colours of the Build, the Bench type thing I use for taking the pics of my builds is a darkish brown thing, which sometimes makes it hard to delineate the colours of the Git and the Bench, and will try and take a break from building for a while, and do some sound samples. :-)

"Thanks BQ", Yep!, the contents definitely hit the spot. :-)
Looks great Alan, I bet it hits the spot :)
Was built as an Exercise/Weights Bench, but of course was never used ;-D
Cool bench too.
"Thanks Poorness", will post the other half of the Keg Build later today, and will make a big effort to get some sound samples done soon :-)

Super cool AGP!!! I always look forward to seeing/hearing your builds.
So nice the way you pose gits with the flag.
