Pat...we'll be needing a "product review" from you, and of course, pics! I've been eyeballing that one myself. Years ago there was a fellow in ID that had a bench that used springs to hold the stave, and you only needed foot pressure to "release" the stave, instead of holding it. It seemed pretty slick, and was made of steel as well. Anyway, I always wanted to re-create something like that.
