Bob, Arthur and James' Atom
Today, Z built the Goon Platoon a new toy--an "atom" from hoola hoops, poly rope and hardware from Macawlvr's (James) instructions. It cost us only $37 in parts, and 2-3 hours work on Z's part. As you can see, the boys love it!
    It didn't come out QUITE as perfect as James', and we need to add more of the cotton rope at the X-crossings, but it's perfectly servicable, and the boys are having a GREAT time. We want to publically thank James for allowing us to use his instructions to make this fantastic bird toy at a tiny fraction of what it would cost to purchase something similar retail. We love it!

Great job Z!
 Certainly looks like the Goon Platoon has given it the stamp of approval!
