Title: Paper make your own bezel thread?
Post by: JackTucky on January 14, 2005, 03:46:02 pm

I can't find it using search.  Anyone remember where that posting was?  The dude made his own bezel just cutting paper, glue, etc.

Thanks.

Don't feel bad. I was looking for it the other day to no avail. I have a fairly abysmal sucess rate with the search function on this site.

Check the new user sticky thread.  It's listed as $2 bezel.

The post is there for *all* users.  It's a good handy bookmark for the basics, and some not-so basics.

I was actually going to throw the idea out there of making one from balsa wood. Thought it would be easy to cut, shape, paint, sand, whatever.

Wouldn't be as cheap as $2.00, but wouldn't cost much more.

I'd still do one in cardboard first, if only to make a pattern. After you've got that you could make one in anything from hardwood veneer to diamond plate aluminum to suit your cab's design.
