I totally agree about being neat and tight. It sure mades a HUGH difference in the result of the structure. Thanks so much for the link and advice.

Ea, that is just too cool. I wish them both the best of luck in their future plans.

You are just too funny! It sounds like you had an amazing trip southern style. Wow! I know our Boy Scouts would have been thrilled to have such an adventure with girls mixed in. That always makes the world more exciting. We'll keep you posted on how everything goes. The Expo is in May.

Eamonn, Thanks so much for the info on the books. I had thought of purchasing a book(s) but wasn't sure where to start. I appreciate your suggestion. The boys and I would have loved for you to come and help us; but we are located in Southern Georgia in a small town called Franklin. Your expertise would have been a great asset. Our pioneering project is being done for our Scout Expo which takes place in Columbus, GA. There will be a committee who will judge our booth. We had three choices with pioneering being our first. We are a very determined group of scouts since we have never done anything to this extent. Boy, what a blast it is going to be. Thanks again for all the guidance and offered help!

Oh, I'm sorry you guys had to stop doing the towers. I did do some research on the height restrictions. You have a very good memory. They are limited to 5' or shoulder length. I did google and found very good projects with detail info; but it just didn't pull up what I needed for the ferris wheel. Thanks for the safety alert and info.

You are so correct. Safety first! We plan to keep it as small scaled as possible. Your tips are much appreciated.

You are awesome! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for all the help.

Thanks! I'll keep you posted on what I hope is a successful pioneered Ferris Wheel.

I'm looking for plans and a list of materials to construct a ferris wheel out of logs and lashing.
