Joy: You already have a big part of what you need. A computer. Then you need some CAD software, then to LEARN the software, then use your imagination to bring your ides to the screen. Darn near everything manufactured today is brought to market this way. They also build virtual testing programs to see how they will perform. Once you have the blueprint, manufacturing the wood part is a snap. We have Amish nearby that will even do it without the use of electricity! I think you could handle this. Easily. I 'm eager to see how it comes out. (BTW, I thought Jeff got a little off track and gave us too much information , too, but I wanted to try to stay on target myself, first). Al Brase
