    Impeccable work as always, Brian. The mitered half-tails are outstanding. I wait for the next installment to see how you can top this!

    Where did you get those shoes. I want some of those for gardening.

    i gotta post you some pictures of my garden some time. I actaully have two large mature tree going into my garden Monday. One a Acer Triflorum and the other a Wheeping White spruce. Both 16' plus and nearly 5000lbs a piece. A crane will be planting them.

    I only mention as prior you mentioned loving bonsai and Japanese Gardening.

    Build looks awesome!

    Stanley Covington sent me those shoes. They're great, I feel like I could use those for timber framing (if I did timber framing, lol) and stick to the frame.

    Post up some pics of the garden, would love to see it. Those trees are awesome, my 'garden' is just a strip of planting allocation I'm aloud in my townhouse, but I've planted a Japanese black pine, it's young so I can train it and keep it fairly small (I'll probably top it at 10-12' max), A false cypress, a dwarf maple and two shimpaku junipers. I also have some fairly young black pine Bonsai that I have been training for two years now, so they're about 5-6 yrs old, along with a Korean hornbeam, brush cherry, natal plum, a shimpaku juniper and a procumbens juniper.

    The black pines are crazy expensive so my best option was to buy pre-bonsai and train them myself, so they look ridiculous with 2' tall sacrifice branches on them but it will eventually pay off. I've seen people let the sacrifice branch get to be 6'~ tall. I'll probably turn my sacrifices into more pine trees pretty soon.

    Thank you!
