I have been working on a better wood track design for about a year now, and I hope I have brought new innovation to an old dinosaur. I will share some of its highlights: The track surface is made from 1/2" 9ply plywood with a birch veneer top & bottom with 3 coats of a factory applied urethane coating. This surface is as smooth as a baby's skin. Lane guidesare from like material 1/4" thick 5-ply. All cut edges are sealed with 2coats of urethane. Legs & braces are solid hard maple and is coated. Starting height typical 48" with a bout 30 degrees of slope. My leg & brace design allows the front legs to remain on the ground without the need of stacking books on the brace or adding other forms of weights. Shipping crate is wood and can easily made into storage case by adding a few 1x2's and hinges. Hopefully I will be in the photographers studio between Christmas & New Years. Pics and video will be on a new website soon, rough pics avail. hopefully in a few days.
