Now, the "Bubblegum" works fine for me, but some folks might think more of your project if ya went with, ohh say,, "Mockup" or is that too close to what the result may be?
I don't know what a 12" Framing Bracket is, but if you tell me I have Lowes, Home depot, Tractor Supply, Sears. Harbor Freight, all in town. I'll see if I can find what ya need,
Thanks for the offer, but Verslagen has contacted me, and is already on the mission to gather and ship parts for me.
I also went from oilfield equipment then to heavy mining equipment and then to electronics tech and computer/network tech over my long working career. My term "Bubblegumming " was a Joke, though we did actually use the term while I worked as an engineering tech (working flunky/wrench for the degreed engineers).
During decades of working in shop and field, I took lots of college classes in 'spare time' and during lay-offs; eventually ending up with several computer, engineering and networking certifications and degrees. Hence, my writing style that can jump from the junkyard vernacular to laboratory geek-speak. I enjoy the ability to apply either terminology, though it is sometimes confusing to others.
