Thanks again Mel

I agree "they are good value even at $42" I know I could not make all the parts for the pump jack for that low price, I didn't count the number of parts but my guess would be over 75 ... and they are all cut & drilled right on the button so they all fit just right..and most kits you get now days are not..and I will say it again,,, very good value ..

My brother who is in a wheel chair now, loves woodworking but can no longer do it and when I told him about the kits, he said WOW I can still do it,and use the kitchen table... and when I said it comes with glue and sand paper and all you need is some news paper on the kitchen table.... he was very happy ....

So we need to make them in the US at a lower price using technolgy and innovation as our edge!!
Enjoy the models, they are goood value even at $42!!
