ORIGINAL: early in

Thanks for the help, guys. I think I will pay the extra forthe third piece. The guide I used the last 2 years actually had a few LW stands, so there was no problem.The guide I'm hunting with this year uses those pin type stands[:'(]that fit into as many as 70 differantset (female)locations around his properties. I've used these in the past and found them to be too noisy. This is why I preferhaving my own stand that I KNOW is going to be quiet.
Yes, it's a hassel going through this, but like Don Higgins said, "sometimes you have to make certain sacrifices".
Well, here's my sacrifice. About $90 in material (aluminum ain't cheap) and around 15 hours labor, my stand case is complete and ready forAlberta, can't wait. The front is a slide in section and I made a heavy cardboard liner as well. I haven't decided what to use for the handle. How's it look?
