And as I'm reading the name on the posting I thought, "boy that name sounds
familiar."  I was glad to see your name again... and attached to such a
monsterous model.  Great work!

The bridge took me almost 2 years and two trips back home to San
Francisco to complete.

I'm currently working on the facade of a building from my home town.  I'm
working from pictures right now, but I have the feeling a trip back will
also be required.  I find it very satisfying to work on a building that I've
actually been in.

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.

All I can say is, "wow".  Again, great work Gary.  I think your patience
paid off.  I just hope we don't have to wait two more years to see your next
project.  :)

Allan B.
