Respect Breaker. Its nice to see some thoughtful craftmanship :cheers: I really do get tired of the 'it will do' attitude. |
| Breaker:
Thanks folks :) Honestly though, it wasn't that much work, maybe one afternoon if you don't count glue drying time; just a bit of careful cutting and drilling... Cheers, Breaker. |

I did something similar, but I found that the epoxy just didn't hold well. It broke on several mounting bolts, but by then the formica had already been glued down on top. Where's a welder when you need one ;) |
| Breaker:
Agreed drventure, - if I had access to a welder that would have been the route I went as well. I haven't had one break yet but I imagine if a bolt did break loose I'd still be able to tighten it by holding the end with needle-nose pliers while tightening the nut so not all would be lost once the laminate was on.

I've seen stuff by your good self, Knievel, Ond etc. and it is really top notch. I'd like to think that I can do decent enough stuff (by my own limitations) but I could never compete with you guys. Not that that is my aim of course. I like to suggest "cutting corners" as it were where the finished product shows no sign of it. Stuff i suggest is usually "under the skin". It's not like it's a mass produced product up for general sale. You guys have set the bar high and that is only good for the hobby for us to try to achieve the same. But if we don't please don't get tired. |
