Thanks, Brad!
It was a lot of fun to turn. There were several catastrophe-based design revisions that made this one reallly interesting!

I think this is excellent and a credit to you because you are working with limited options. I read the description you posted in the forum (4 times) and now really appreciate how much work went into this. Good job.

Thanks, Brendan! I learned a lot turning this one. It was a lot of fun, and really made me think outside the box on to fix a couple of the issues I had with it.
