Don,
Nice looking rest! I've got mine as well and have been waiting for some warmer weather (at somewhere closer to freezing) in order to give it a test-run so as not to freeze my ...ah... fingers off. Man, oh man, did Allan do a nice job with these rests. Everything appears to be just as you'd want.
It's suppose to warm up to maybe 40° on Friday, so maybe then. We'll see, and I'll let you know what I think after that.
