When you're finished - I may need instructions so I can make something for Ziggy! Speaking of instructions - I think someone told me once that you made a climbing rope out of sisal (like those cargo nets). If my memory is correct and you did - would you pretty please post pics and instructions on how you did it??!!

Alright Jim...what did ya make??

Oh Camille, this is so sad................ lol I got the goods, even saw a photo of something else WAY cool to make, and I have been so swamped between work and going to visit mom in law in the hospital and being a best man at a wedding next weekend in Ocean Side. But I do have one of the big dowels marked for cutting!! And all the wood is in the shop not my living room!!

Here's the page I sent Jim of the "WAY cool" play gym. Pickles Play Gym I can't wait to see what he does!

Jim - hope your MIL is feeling better soon and hope you have fun at the Wedding!

Great Gym - hope Jim improves upon it with his 'style' - maybe some weaving?

OMG Stephanie that is an AWESOME gym! I'm gonna have to find a handy person to make me something like that. I like that it's tall and doesn't take up a ton of room, and my guys love to hop rung to rung on a spiral ladder like that (they have a small spiral ladder on their tabletop gym).

I went to Home Depot today, work related as usual. I just couldn't resist it. There it was. Not the best of its kind by any means. But more then enough for my needs........ AND it was on sale!! A drill press. No more holding the pieces and a drill!! I also got some stock, 2x2, 1x3, and 1x6. When I get back from Oceanside I will devote at least an hour a day to these new play gyms!!!

STEPH -- that is awesome! I wonder if I could convince my father to build Beetle something like that...

You guys HAVE to look at the link! The third picture of the wee p-let walking about his gym is PRICELESS! Pickles has this perfect "AHM A BIG BURD" look on his face...

Jim, can't wait to see what you come up with for your wee beebs. Best wishes to the bride and groom... and I'll continue to keep your MIL in my thoughts.
