Very nice!
wolftracks, with the super low-density wood we have these days, it's best to drill a hole in the wood wherever you want to use a screw. I use deck-screws with a little drill bit that is short with a nub that makes the head of the screw not press apart the wood. It's a 'counter-sink' bit, and you can get a 3-pack with different width bits in them for all of $7 at Home Despot. THAT will stop your split wood.
Yeah well.............I have issues these days. I got out the drill Bill bought 2 days before her died. He was going to build my coops and do work on the house. I don't know how I did it, but I wore the inside down and jammed it. I wasn't being heavy handed either. I pulled out his older drill and it froze up in the middle of the second hole. Guess that's why he bought the new one. He had said the other wasn't long for this world. How ironic!
I just can't afford even a cheap drill right now, so I'm stymied here! I need pens. Oh and I did make one run from PVC.................O M G !!!! Glue didn't hold and when I set it in the frame and tried to hoop it it all came out on one side, sooooo I have this A shaped piece of junk in my yard right now.
I use tiny drills and dremels for jewelry and I've build cabinets and tables and all kinds of stuff, but I'm coop impaired
BUT....a woman needs a functional drill!!
I wish I had an extra to send you. That stinks.
