that looks really good,.. clean work! @koendb Thank you, I like to keep things as precise as possible, accuracy is something I aspire to.

Ok, I’ve cleaned up the edge of the body, using the body routing template (pattern) and the router. I’ve also routed approximately 2.5mm deep, a recess for the control cavity cover plate to sit in. ...

Very nice work indeed @bpower

Thanks for the great advice. I've only put two coats on at a time so far and scuffed it with 400 grit after the first two. Its been fairly high temperatures and low humidity the last couple of days, I...
