> Adrian - she's now wanting her own pink power tools, how bad will I look with these!!!

Seems like a fair price if she's going to be building more of those bridges :!: :!: :!:

> p.s I've just seen in the photo that she's even drinking my Fosters

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Richie,
Thats the best wife made bridge I've ever seen. You're lucky your wife not only supports your hobby but actually participates!

With a little paint and weathering it will look awesome. Its about the right height for a railroad bridge. Trains needed vertical clearance.

Cool stuff.

Hi Bob

Thanks for the nice words, she only had 5mins me showing her how it works, and she never snapped a blade :P

i may just scrap this one , as i not really happy with the height :? the bottom looks ok with the dolly :? , unless we build some dummy tracks and use it has a rail bridge :? .

Richie :wink:

How about cutting through it along the centre of the cross braces - half the height and two bridges for the price of one :!:

Richie,
Instead of a Bridge too far, its a Bridge too tall! :D

Have your wife saw 3-4 inches off the bottom! She's a jigsaw ninja. That would drop the height some.

I wouldn't scrap it yet. I'd throw a little paint on it - see how it looks after its chopped and lowered.

I think its a keeper. -Bob
