The first LASER cut gates didn't cut all the way through and there is no way I can get that level of detail with cutting the bits out with a craft knife. New ones will be cut very shortly.
I am waiting to receive interest in Bond Brakes before considering releasing anything onto the market.

Coffee stirrer technology as always! I will be making the gates hinged so they can be opened and closed.

Looking at the last photo, I was trying to work out in my head how difficult it would be to solder up the iron work for us lesser mortals who don't have access to a lazy cutter :|

Looking sweet indeed Zach, nice work (even with the white roofs!)

Tommy Dodd may have an ARS key but I have a TASS button & a Rope Ladder, just like pirates, except the TASS button bit.
