Split over 2 weeks separated by 6 months….

That’s what puts me off doing a course build - having to split the build over 2 separate (long distance) trips, and that wait, wait, wait in the middle!

 

But it’s going to be worth it ......

Man it was hard to walk away from the workshop and leave things like this….
