My son wants me to build him a fireplace mantle. The two-pillar, top-shelf

The thing is, he lives 2500 miles from me, so I'm going to have to ship it.
Other than getting quotes from the standard shippers (UPS, FedEx, etc.) I'm

I look to the collective wisdom of this group for creative options.


How long is the longest piece? You can crate it and ship by truck. It
would be handled by forklift and may have stuff loaded on top of it.

It may be cheaper to fly out there, rent some tools and built on site.
