Boz:
The theme, I hope won't turn out to be a pie-in-the-sky thing. I really, really like the concept of the theme, but doing vector conversion is going to be a real pain for me. I'm not sure my work will turn out as good as the cab hopefully does.

The bondo and dowel pins I might have to read up on. I *have* seen some projects that have used it though I don't have that many curves that I'll be painting. I made a trip down to Home Depot today and I think I'm gonna use 3/4 oak for the cabinet for it's durability and the ease with which I can work with it. I had planned on using just run of the mill 5-ply plywood, but after building the shelves, I don't want to have to deal with crap wood just beneath the surface of the first ply. The oak I was looking at was easily 9-ply if not 10.

I'm also toying with the idea of staining the oak then placing the artwork over the top with a couple coats of poly for protection. Of course, I'm not familiar with any of these materials so I have no idea how they will interact or end up looking.

Oddly, I'm going to be in-between jobs for about a month and I'm thinking that I could, if I worked hard, have the whole thing done if I don't have to wait for parts. Single, no-kids, no job to go to...could be the only time I have to devote to it till my new job picks up in August.

How did you create those static flickr badges?

It's just a screenshot of the last step. The BBS here doesn't allow for the kind of intense HTML that flickr badges spit out (AFAIK), so I took a screenshot of the last step in the badge creation, cropped it, linked to the screenshot from my own web server, and added the (url=blah) tag around the image for the BBS here.

Hope that helps

I love how this message board saved the 30 minutes of typing and updates when I accidentally attached an image that was too big.

I'll update after the weekend.
