Secondly, a woodie is not going to have an overbanked turn.

That's what he wants it to look like.
Pianoman, we need pictures of YOUR coaster before we can say anything.

This was the first woodie I ever built.
http://www.sscoaster...s-runnin-10778/
That first turn took me almost a whole weekend to get right. I looked at as many woodies in the coaster database as I could find and all of the recent construction threads for ideas.
From what you describe, my first turn is very close to what you want. Use it to get ideas and start building. If you copy it piece for piece you won't learn. I found that it is simplest to over build it using all base sized rods (in my case granites) and 3D connectors, then go over it and look for places you can improvise to use longer rods and regular connectors so you use less of the pieces you are going to run out of first. I made tons of modifications to that turn after it was built. Even then, if I was starting over there are things I would do differently now.
You want to learn as much as you can from what others have done while at the same time developing your own personal building style. You'll feel a lot more of a sense of accomplishment if you do it on your own. I used a tutorial to build a corkscrew in one of my first coasters. It was great for getting something built quickly but it was no where near as satisfying as if I had figured it out myself.
These guys may seem harsh but they really do like to help, you just have to give them something to go on and show you are willing to put in some effort to learn as well. I went from not having a clue to being told I built a great coaster in a matter of weeks.

don't forget that you are new to this community, you want the help of others, best is to be accommodating and grateful of the people who have been here. Telling people to "deal with it" isn't going to win to many friends. again, remember you are asking for their help, try asking nicely.

We are not able to help you unless we have pictures of your coaster. We have no clue what yours looks like, so can't give you advice on how to make it better. Also, if your cameras broken, get it fixed or buy a new one.
