@Jozefbehr, @markbailey, @wayne_f, @robin, I followed Mark’s advice and created a paste [with regular Tite Bond] by sanding another piece of mahogany – filling, then scraping. of course, the pasting repair made its own problems when sanding and scraping it…some…   Read more»

Did you make that mount or buy it?

I bought it from ali express. It was dirt cheap 🙂

@wayne_f Very cool. That came out looking great. It is a unique design. Well done. 

@wayne_f Nice work! you got this.

@wayne_f

@russ Haha really? I don’t see it.

It looks good to me @wayne_f.  Have some fun building it. ✌️😁
