Oooh, tell us more. Price, and who carries it? How big is the "holder", if
I carve a piece of 3" ethafoam to fit over the deck ridge, can it be
mortised on top to accommodate the holder? I was just going to use a
handheld compass in the mortise but it wouldn't be so easy to read as this
one, maybe. (? Ralph, you are giving me so much help I'm running out of
money)

Slainte! e
