Thanks Bro , it was survival.That is a pro move right there. I have gotten away with many things by making them into some kind of benefit for the kids.
On the gearing, that definitely sounds like a job that I will pay someone to do.
Plus it really helped " Jr." and my lead carpenter, who is awesome.
A regear can only be dead right , it can't be "close".
We have a number of guys here that can do them..I ain't one if em!
