This project will be kind of new ground for me, as it is something I haven't attempted before.
I wont go into details yet.
Here are a few construction shots.

Let the discussion begin :)

I really like thats drop into the lateral turn, then into the smaller drop... It looks like you will get all sorts of g-forces from it. Its looking pretty good so far [approve]

What little you have looks neat so far. I'll be watching this since you seem to care about the supports.

^If the supports are anywhere near as good as his last coaster Outburst's... They will prob look extremely good.

^ You can plan on the supports being just as good or better. Im a perfectionist when it comes to supports on wooden coasters. I just hate the auto-supports.

Anyway, I have a small update showing off some new construction.

Haha they are easy to learn! But when your making woodies like these its just as good or even better to hand build it to give it that roughness that woodies have today. haha[lol]

Tool-built woodies are only too smooth if you build them that way. I think almost every single hand-built woodie out is at least a little too smooth, including your most recent A7XandCoasters ;)

I no and i should be ashamed... haha[lol]... Im working on my hand building, im just not quite comfortable with my skill level quite yet (I suck). Maybe this summer ill be better

P.S. Im looking forward 2 how the woodie your making (Sabertooth?) turns out.

That's how Outburst was done.
Every single support was placed by hand.

Outburst took about a year. But only because I had a lot going on and I couldnt manage the time to mess with NL.
Had I had the time to do it, it would have been done in less than a month.

EDIT: A small update is up on NLDC.
