    Hey cool, Lakin is a small spot in the road, but it's what we call home.

    Yes I know about the routed edge. A couple of years back one of my students made a bed for a 70 Chevy stepside. That's where I learned about the different sizes for the width and, of course, the shape of the edges and the little groove for the metal strips to set in to. However I cannot find the poop-sheet that we took all those measurements from and cannot find the place where we got it.

    Thanks for the help.
