Very trick, Phil! |

Sweet!
Reminds me of the scaffolds that you see on big airplane assembly lines - too cool!
Great idea!

I think someone is just showing off their woodworking skills simultaneously with metalworking skills
I like the back rails... you must be like me -- I'd be walking backwards off them at least once an hour, with battle scars and choice words to match!
