For once in my life I am SPEECHLESS!

Only two weeks? It would take me that long just to get the shop cleared enough to tackle that one!

My sincere COMPLIMENTS!!!

Nothing like success to bolster confidence!  ;D ;D ;D ;D
The pine paneling and wood floors look like our cabin.  ;D
Pretty aren't they?
On to the church. Looking forward to seeing it done.

Great looking project Clyde....  A question was asked about how tall it is.
And what type of glue did you use?  Did you use any clamps?  Would Love to of seen a step by step picture album of how you made this wonderful project.  I have always wanted to take on something like this, but like you mentioned....Being a lil scared.  LOL  Danny  :+}

Thanks again  :-[  I appreciate all your comments. Danny I will post some pictures I took during the cutting and construction phases. I need to take time to organize the pictures and captions. That will be my next rainy day job.   In answer to your other questions. I used Lapages yellow carpenters glue and hot glue to reinforce the legs from the inside, the piece is 40 inches high , I didn't use clamps but I used masking tape to hold joints together. I also cut jigs to fit the bottom of each section into to ensure tight fits. This is the first time I attempted a project of this scale, the ideas came to me after a lot of consideration and meditation on the task at hand.  Thanks again,

Gabby, you must be refering to the background in the photo?? It is my rec room and the Tower is sitting on the pool table. Observant.
