    You are quite the fabricator. Is it going to get painted, and then look like all the other plywood and bondo consoles out there? Hope not.

    I made a 1/2 in, 1/2 out gauge setup once. The time involved in thinking out the process and then the setup time to make it was every bit of 50% of the work.

    Once I kinda figured out what I was going to do, it went fairly quick.

    Yours looks better than the one I did. It "flows" well.

    Nice!

    Nice try Lehr. Now let us know who REALLY did the work.:rolleyes: Might I suggest you contact Kustomtalker if your REALLY interested in trying to make something of yourself.
    Next I'll bet you'll try to pass yourself off as a painter. Where will it end?:eek:
