    I know - just like the artist said...I had this vision of what I wanted to end up with so I just took away everything that wasn't in the vision!

    Cool, you even can add more wood if needed through your grill openings..

    That was the first one I ever cut and I used a total of 4 metal cutting blades in a saber saw. Since then I've made two more for folks and have used a SawsAll to cut them quicker and then spent more time on the bench grinder making them neater in appearance. Time wise spent the two approaches were essentially equal!

    send me your former wife??? are you nuts??? i already have one of them :laugh: i am sure it would be cheaper for me to just mail you the grate. actually it would probably be cheaper to take a couple months off work and walk to your house with it :evil: you may have either one, only difference is position of the missing grid. e-mail me your address i will send it to you.
