face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>Well, same here. Except my Dad
just delivered a couple of sections of bowling alley to me at Christmastime.
The size is great for action work. Plenty of room for the key
frame, action stack behind, place for tools/supplies as well, both on the side
and still some room at the front/back. I've not had a chance to strip
off the wax, etc. yet, but am planning on refinishing these sections when I
get one of those things, what are they called, "roundtoits"?</FONT> <BR><FONT
