Default Re: Boo . . . Scary Console

Thanks for all the compliments. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Strick - when I made the mold I cut the 3/4" MDF to fit the opening almost perfectly - just slighly smaller. That mold was glue to a flat piece of MDF that created a 2" flange around the outside of the pocket. The pocket piece was centered, glued (cabosil and epoxy) and then clamped to the console. The rest was just fairing and sanding. I formed a 90 degree edge on the outside of the pocket and knocked off the ridge with a sander to make a nice straight round edge.

It's not perfect by any means . . . the left side is much straighter than the right. It's difficult to tell looking down, but at this angle it's pretty obvious.
