I appreciate all the complexity involved on this project and it's nice to hear you've been tweaking and improving things while we've been waiting. I can't say I'm thrilled to hear "we have decided to forgo a written assembly manual for a DVD or web-based assembly tutorial" though. This seems to be a growing trend among tool makers but for those of us without TV/DVD or computers in the shop, it's rather a PITB either forcing the tool to be assembled in the home, or endless rounds of Watch-a-Little, Go-To-Shop, Assemble-A-Little, Lather-Rinse-Repeat. The size of this probably merits just bring it indoors, with numerous trips back to the shop for one more tool I forgot to write down when watching the DVD. At this point, I'd rather not wait longer while you develop a printed manual but I hope this is something you keep in mind for the future. Thanks again Doug John
