Heavy, that's looking fun! Thanks for posting the pictures.

What color LEDs have you installed? Do you think you're going to cover your console with a fabric or naugahyde? Some veneer from that wood you have would look awesome...

One of these days I need to figure out how to use some of my Grandfather's and Dad's tools to do that sort of woodwork. I still have Grandpa's table shaper and a bunch of fixtures, but some of the stuff is a real mystery to me.

I love your idea of turning the scraps! You could make your own fancy harlequin wood posts for a bar area or get into all sorts of artistic things with those.

I'll be looking forward to your next installment!

It's what you learn after you know it all, that counts...

Are you living to work, or working to live?

Learning from my own mistakes is good, learning from yours would be much better! [Linked Image]
