1 turnbuckle.  Best $3.49 i've spent in a loooong time.  Price of a good
coffee in this town.  I love just aimlessly wandering hardware stores
re-purposing things that could only be come up with by some crazed
van-dweller....

Working of building a better, stronger (more ghetto) slider handle.  Broke
two in the same number of years  :(

life flows....
