Here is my Golden Gate Bridge.  I wanted this to be my first posting on
Lugnet but Eric posted his a few days before I was going to post, so I held
off.  The bridge took me almost 2 years and two trips back home to San
Francisco to complete.  I was so glad to finish it.  The bridge stands 2’ 8”
tall on each tower and is 5’ long.  I was able to fill the deck with three
layers and 2x4’s underneath so it would hold it’s own weight.  The cables
are made of 1x1 rounds.  Some day I would like to build Fort Point and have
it sitting under the Bridge.  That’s another project.  I hope you enjoy.
Gary
