    I rekin the old adage is true ... if you do it for a living, you won't do it for a hobby. Cabinet-er Dub hasta have a coffee table made outta metal.

    The question gotsa be axed - how much of the materials in that table had a previous life in/on Suzi?

    Part of my reluctance to start marketing any of this stuff to the masses...If I HAD to do it, to fill orders in a somewhat timely manner, it would cease to be fun...

    Not even one...OK, maybe the battery hold down was cut from the same length of bar stock material as the cross members...

    Thought as much.

    BTW, I kinda like the 'erector set' theme you have going there. Surprised that TLMP bought off on it though.

    She amazes me almost daily with her wonderfullness...

    There can be no doubt, I'm one lucky SOB...

    Just got in from cleaning up mancave west (the garage/shop), and it's astounding, to me at least, the volume of aluminium curly Q's that many holes create...and they're a PITA to sweep up, don't vacuum worth a dang with my pee-wee shop vac, & cling to everything...

    Anyhoo...I stopped by the thrift store on the way home & bought a pair of compact, garage worthy speakers for 8 Amer-kin dollars. Just got done wiring them up to an old receiver I had in inventory...



    Now, if only I could find that dusty old 8 track player & a couple of them there "just the right size" match books.
