Hi, I bummed your eye bolt idea for my first build. Thanks for posting this!

Hello, just a note that I used your shopping list to go to my local Menards hardware store to get all the hardware for my first CBG build and found that the #8 washers and #10 x 24 wing nuts don't fit the 1/4 x 3" eye bolts. I guess it was my own fault for not actually checking before I purchased them. I'll be going back tomorrow to get another size of each. :o)

lol

no the eye bolts are 3/16" and 3" long, not 1/4"

i can't wait to see how your build turns out, good luck, and post lots of pictures when you're done!!!!
