    blackbox: Thanks! Where are you located that materials are a problem?

    Matthew, DonT-FeaR, blueonblack, Vision, SgtM: Thank you for the kind comments and the rep. I'm pretty happy about how its turning out. It's been over a year since I started this thing and its time to bring it to a close. Sorry for being out of pocket but I've been working hard to get it all wrapped up. So...

    Polishing is finished, labels are on, all that's left to do is…nothing

    I could bore you with details but I think I'll let the pics do the talking.

    One last thing before I visit the "Is your worklog finished?" thread, when I was sanding down the case, I found these on the bottom side.

    They were pretty far gone but this one in particular gave me an idea.

    I made a new label; one a little more appropriate.

    I think you'll agree, no?


    Maestro, a little traveling music if you please. This one's moving to the land of completed projects.

    Oh. My. God. That was absolutely awesome until I saw the data sticker. *That* is one of the coolest things I have seen! An absolutely perfect finishing touch. +rep for sure

    Thanks guys glad you like it. Without you guys encouraging me, it'd have been another year before I was done. Least I could do.
