I will post my cart once it is done. It may be a while though. As Charlese could tell you I have a few things I probably need to get done before the cart...

It really is quite a list. haha

Sorta like Sunday Mornings?:D

You should never put your "cart" before your horse (or a few things):)

I was wondering how long it would be before someone mentioned the horse/cart and which should come first.

And I thought you should always put the cart before the horse. The horse doesn't care where you are going and blocks the view. Hang a carrot and a bucket of oats off the back end of the cart and the horse will walk as far as you want, pushing on the harness which pushes the cart trying to get to those goodies. You can steer the wheels by using brakes on each side to control left and right (like a bull dozer) if you don't have a steering wheel and if that horse should want to leave any "apples" behind it, you are neither subjected to the smell nor the sight. Granted, if the horse was in front, it could provide some protection in case of a front end collision.

But just never saw much logic in that expression.

Well this twist certainly proves that the human mind can complicate anything. Perhaps I am too old to untangle or understand this form of logic.:eek: Jim

Did I fail to mention that 20+ years ago I was a politician wannabe? Add to that my ex is a lawyer so the only way I could ever win an argument (actually more of a draw) was to convolute the discussion so thoroughly that she would get disgusted and walk away.

Yes, I DO need help. The Shopsmith is my therapy!
