[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by geoeisele Wow, BB-Michigan! You're a good carpenter. That looks like it'll serve you well. I once did the same thing with the inset foam on an old layout, then changed my mind and saved some foam by using it only under the tracks and trackside areas. Either way, foam is very good, and you obviously are good at using it. One question: How do you latch that swing section when it's up? [/quote] Thanks! Taken 2 yrs of woodshop in high school and now in a building trades class building a residential home. The biggest pay off is having the right tools like a power miter saw. Here's how the gate is held up. Forgot to add them to the first pictures. 1. I have two "barrel bolts" on each end. Just have to slide the bolt into the hole on the face of the board.
