Boy, Ben, you had at least 2 hoods there! Things look like they're progessing nicely! At this rate you WILL be done by the Gathering!

Ben,
Looking good. From the pictures the seats turn out quite well.

You just need to stay focused (and work all night instead of sleeping)! You don't give yourself enough credit. You're doing much better than many of us would. I can't wait to see this animal!

See, you get closer all the time! Seriously, you have to have a lot of patience and desire to complete a project like this! You are doing a great job!
