documentation of the project

Indeed! All of this really does serve as my shop notebook; documenting everything here means I have a better idea of what to do (or not do!) the next time around. Much easier than trying to find a scrap of paper amid all the clutter, too.

Thanks for the good words…

“I long ago lost track of the number of Quality Shop Time hours devoted to all this, which may be the whole point…”

Ed, the point is the gift of knowledge you provide and documentation of the project in hopes that someone else might learn or be able to take avantage of the hours spent. I say thanks even if I never build this exact project, the enclosure design and lessons learned apply to many other things. This kind of old world craftmanship is hard to find. The idea that if you have the right tool (sometimes you have to use a tool to make a tool), you can build anything.
