As to stacking,

I like the thicker bottom for more stability so I'm using scrap Mahogany that's 1 3/4" thick.

By leaving just the bottom thick and leaving the rest no more than 3/4" or so I can layout one on edge then flip the pattern over and move it down a couple inches and get another piece out of the other side.

These are about 9 1/2" tall and by doing that I get 2 pieces out of a 12" long piece of wood.

This was a cool project. I had to build most of it in stealth mode. Installed all the accessories today while the kid was at the beach.

 

Swings on opposite corners, cargo net, pull-up bar, pair of rings, and 30 of those rock-wall plastic climbing rocks. 8’ x 4’ x 8’ tall.

 

She is going to love it...everything comes down and goes under the tree...not the frame.:)

And since some guys were talking about the sentimentality of certain tools, I realized that I use that little Stanley level pretty much every day that was my dad’s. 

 

It it must be at LEAST 60 years old, probably a few more.:)

You back to using concrete in the post holes?

I bet the kid has a smile a mile wide when she sees it.

I “made” this today. Local market had similar for $150, I did this for $25.

That's awesome! Does the weight or size of the bottle matter?

 

 

You are just a dirty, smelly fisherman. If a hot girl is making eye contact with you, she is probably a hooker.
