[Lindyhopper49]

Just got through a big construction day... fingers crossed the miniature OUA league will be able to hit the field at some point next week!

I will post pictures and updates soon-ish

I have finished all the teams (some need bases)
I have finished the Band for my school (queen's university), and some fans (me and my posse in particular)
finished the trophy that we will be playing for.

it is going to be awesome (i hope)!!!

this project has been a long time coming.

I bought the wood for the rails a while ago.

I convinced my father to help me out, because he is a very good craftsman and I didnt feel line cutting my hands off with a saw...

we wanted to make sure that everything was squared off so we went to the shop that my dad works at and used their milling machine to make sure that the ends were square...then used the planer to get everything completely squared off (the edges are so square that they are sharp).

we had to lay everything out on the kitchen table (the table isnt long enough so we had to do one end at a time)

here are the holes for the bolts.

we drilled and counter sunk, using a drill press, on the side rails, then drilled through length wise into the end rails. then on the end rails we drilled down through the side to make a spot to get a nut onto the bolt.

getting every thing clamped to make sure it says square
