Before I buy this article from FHB, does anybody remember how good
this
article was. Does the first line start with.... Buy 40K$ of teak.

Boy that's putting it mildly. I was too impatient and bought the
article yesterday before your reply and I was pretty disapointed with
the article.
IMHO, I thought it looked really lame. The wide panels really closed
up the
look. The joinery was not interesting.
Well I got the Makinson book and
the G&G Masterworks book coming from Amazon and I got my head gears in
motion.
I'm seriously thinking about making something like it, metal clamps,
the
whole nine yards. However, I don't want it to be just a carbon copy.
I'd want metalwork on it ...but different. Since I live in NC I'd
love to add some kind of Southern element to it. I think I also want
to
make the balluster/side work more seethru.

If I remember correctly, I thought that the changed design had lost
most of the beauty of the original. The changes in proportion and
layout were major.
