one of his other cousins tried to make one several years ago but couldn't swing it and he was real excited when I brought up the prospect of getting him one.

And they are just going to have to figure out a way to make it work. Unfortunately I cannot travel to Canada right now so I can't help that way. That's why I've been asking around.

He is still a young guy and I think that since they live close to the city it might open up some worlds to him. But maybe I am a dreamer.
