PLEASE add Units to all values, so s.o. else can understand the measuring. Greets from Germany, i'm sorry, but i really don't understand the values. Are you talking of inches or what? It doesn't make any sense.

USA Zip 60914: Obviously these directions took a lot of time to put together, but they are useless to me. Could you compile a list of the components and then refer back to them? Additionally, are there pictures of the individual pieces with any indication as to where I might be able to find them? If you used a tape measure on the big bits, then the standard on those is inches. I understand that the small bits are in mm, but could you please indicate which measurements fall into which category. Additionally, how would you expand this design to make six foot model, or something inbetween like a four foot model. Chintue on Yahoo


All dimensions are INCHES.

Sizes are standard. sorry, we used a tape measure for the big bits and a micrometer for the little bits.
