But it is good for the Chicago nation. Been to a few conventions in the largest center in the US. Beautiful facility. https://wgntv.com/news/coronavirus/mccormick-place-to-be-turned-into-3000-bed-hospital/?fbclid=IwAR0WGFjZn9vRctzXOUyKZUSTSlA-B9Zzjo7SXthfshaOjlWAPITObL7VMa4 Just saw that the center where the Detroit auto show was to be held will be converted too. Small irony is was just in Detroit and their auto show used to be in January but just too cold so it was changed Also bravo to Army Corps of Engineers for the work they are doing around the country. Have to give a shout out as that’s where my dad served Edited March 29, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea and same plan for the east coast hospital ship. Won’t spread out the respiratory distress specialists by having coronavirus patients in even more separate locations Edited March 29, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made it 5 minutes longer than Britt did...which was about 10 minutes lol. I managed to build a cue to sell though so I guess that's good. Sorry for the late post, just finished working back-to back 12 hour shifts. This is absolutely beautiful. Looks like some very intricate in-lay work. And nothing beats the natural color and grain wood especially the exotic hardwoods. Nice work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
