Oh I remember that tank! Just didn't make the connection.

Had to play before building the case for the canopy lift controller... I really like these buttons.

Okay, where did you get those? Very nice indeed.

Canopy lift finished and stand getting ready for mill work. I am very, very pleased with the action on the lift....it's smooth!

And cant wait to see it done and the next one too..

Nice job
