Hmm, good idea.
We would have to have a limit on the number of people - too many
people helping is often worse than no one helping. Also the
educational value would be diminished.
I will have to look up exactly what is included in the 'Tools Skill',
i.e., what exactly people are expected to know, and make sure all of
those will be taken care of by this cart building. If not, there could
easily be a quick show-how-to of the other tool(s).
I'll get back to you guys...
Len, what do you think?
