Yes, YES! I'd love to have one of those, but the price tag $6,500+ makes it a bit out of reach... I used a picture of one just like it to model most of mine after.

I suppose many contemporary parents would be aghast at this project. I would have given a couple of eye-teeth for one when I was a kid!

That is what is wrong with todays kids; contemporary parents who are too afraid of life and discipline.

My Dad and I built 'stuff' when I was a kid, and I do the same with my daughters.
