Tyler,

I have done a couple of them, they are all off of the same form. Let me see if I can post a few pictures for you.

Here are a couple more from 2007, the bacote has darkened quite a bit in the last couple of years, this one came it at 53# at 28". I hope these help

I did a post on one I built.  It is my first and only to date.  You should be able to find it by doing a search by my user name.
