Not your ordinary amateur project, but if you’ve not seen a tower stacked with a gin pole, download this slide show. It’s about 65 Megs and is zipped. You only need to unzip it and click on the icon to play as it is self-contained and needs no extra hardware to run. Be sure to turn on your speakers.

If there is a purpose for this website it would be to share information, but second to that, it’s also a learning experience to see just what an old Tower Dawg can conjure up. I have often said I have so many toys that I have to hire people to help me play with them. I’m sure there has to be other like me that have short attention spans. If there is no challenge, then I’m on to the next project. This website is an example. As soon as I have it up and running with all links intact, I decide to add something, trash the whole thing and start over. Most of the links will take you to a page relating to work or hobbies from the last 30 plus years. Hope you enjoy.
