I started assembly. Patience is a really good thing to have to make things look good. The chassis is stainless, so I need to be careful not to scratch with a screwdriver or something. I have been using a picture on the Ebay listing to see how to assemble, position the sockets and such. There are no guide holes on the wood end caps, so you have to mark, drill and thread. They are real wood, not saw dust. I found not to tighten the wood screws too tight or it tries to make things lop-sided. Assemble this part on a smooth surface with a clean rag to keep from scratching.
If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything"
