Subject:Re: Another BZ Shelf Gets Installed!
From:Mark Hersh
Date:Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:32:32 -0500

Tom and Mr. Squirrel (if Tom's nickname was "Moose" that would really be
cool),

I clicked on the "plans" link on the wiki page and all I got was an
opportunity to edit the plans.  Well, if I would edit the page commensurate
with my skills and abilities, the shelf would end up with a lot more
cardboard, popsicle sticks and white glue.

So I'd like to see the original plans before suggesting any edits.

Thanks
