Cool Jeff. I have that magazine, I'll take a look.

I do 3 rail O which is why my helix is 10' in diameter. I've seen many photos of the all thread method, but have always found it easier to just cut wood spacer blocks. The thing about the wood is it takes up more space. Space isn't really a problem for me.

Posting photos here isn't too hard. First they need to be stored in a location on the web, and in jpeg format. Then you need to enclose the complete URL with the filename in the "img" forum command. Mine looks like this, but I have put in a space so you can see the command
[ img]http://home.comcast.net/~big_boy_4005/helix10.jpg[/img]

If I had left the space after the first bracket out, it would just show up automaticly. If you just post the URL with the filename a link is formed.
