yotsuya:
Just adding my kudos! That actually looks really, really good!

I filled and sanded all the T-molding areas and she completely wrapped the edges. Almost feel like I shouldn't ruin it with the nailheads as the molding because it looks so nice, but the wife still seems to think we should go all out. LOL - We are struggling with getting it to show up on the monitor and that is taking and has taken up all of our time. Nightmare!!!! We did the layout for the control panel this morning to get our minds off the monitor issues. This is what the first draft sketch of the layout looks like. It's kind of generic but we have limited space and this layout seemed to be the most comfortable even though its the least pleasing to look at. We have to go to Home Depot to get a 1 1/8" hole cuter so we can make the first mock up. Glad everyone likes the leather. It's this custom made Italian leather that is amazing. We had it leftover from a job.

Wow amazing work. Looks great.

One last pic for the night - we're friggin' exhausted. Here's the first mock up of the CP. The CP should be done by next weekend. Got the wood for it. Just want to do a couple more templates etc. before we cut the final one to make sure its just right. So, here's how the first mock up looks.

Good choice with the all black controls. Don't think I've ever seen a black trackball used!
