Thanks everyone,

Dan, thanks for the P-cat tip and the pictures. This probably comes closest to what I need (to convince the wife)...

Sparky, thanks for the tramp tip, I'll keep my eyes peeled although they are very rare in these parts. I'm actually planning to build a Farrier design at some point in the future, but 'things' will have to settle down before I take on a project like that.

I think I'll just hang-out here for a while and just lurk. Who knows I just might learn something from you guys.

Dennis
