    once you figure it out please post how you did it. I made one, couldn't get the front to bow so I ended up just making it square. It sits nicely, but I wanted the bend in it.

    Oh I'll definitely put up an entire build thread for it, no worries. Still in the planning/convincing mom stages :)
