Wondering if ill need a new building board for this one, I think the hanger will be ok for length, might need a new band saw though, what you think :dry:

A same scale bandsaw would be very acceptable :whistle:

Have a nice Day, unless I don't like you.

Ha ha!.......on the other hand.....Hmmmmmmmmm.....

With a span of 13", you'd have a length of 34.7" which would contain a pretty useful length of rubber. It might just be feasible....... :evil: :evil:

HaHa Nice one but I meant our nearest Lidl. Not that it wouldn't be very nice to pop over there and see you and all your models etc.
